Thank you for the answer.
I have one more question, maybe for Madam Levinson.
You told us that 30% of tests are “superflu”, as we say in French. They are not accurate.
A lot of money could be saved by the government, although more funding is being requested. I am thinking of pharmacare, for example. It seems that more money would be saved if there was a Canada-wide action plan.
I was surprised—and not surprised, at the same time, as this is the reality—to hear that physicians prescribed medication just to reassure people. I am wondering if people are looking for a temporary placebo effect or just want things to be easier. Doctors know what the situation is, but they still do these things. They need to be educated.
How can we address this issue? What is the solution?
