Tax Talk With The Canadian Taxpayers Federation

Canada's health care system is paying Cadillac prices for Chevrolet results, and is in desperate need of reform. Globe and Mail columnist Jeffrey Simpson, the author of Chronic Condition: Why Canada's Health Care System Needs To Be Dragged Into the 21st Century, recently sat down with CTF federal director Gregory Thomas to talk about his book, and where health care needs to go next. This episode features part one of that interview (part two will be featured in Tax Talk #21 next week), which looks at the current state of Canadian health care and what we're actually getting for the billions of dollars we pour into the system every year. Plus our usual features: Comment of the Cast, Waste of the Week, and Stat of the Cast.
