Mr. Speaker, the truth is that this government decided long ago that health care was not its number one priority. Total government taxes are at an all time high and, of course, it continues to steamroll $1,800 more in income tax out of each and every one of us. Despite this record breaking tax collection, it has gutted hospital spending by $1,150 per person.
With taxes at a record high and health care funding at a record low, why does the government continue its pay more, get less policy?
