RE: Removing Posts Again"..hospitals and health care are federal responsibility.."
Don't know where you are coming from, but the last 54 years I have been living in this country, hospitals and health service has been a provincial responsibility.That does not mean that the federal government has not been having its hands in it by 'subsidizing 'it to do a little politicking and obfuscating the body politic.
If a fair accounting would be done then it would show that the federal surplus is coming mostly from the activity in Alberta too.
I don't think there is a clear front runner between the federal or provincial Governments and the industry who can do the least for the senior citizen.All they know is their own pockets.
