Anger mounts at funeral for man who died in waiting room

Answers sought after man dies in Winnipeg hospital waiting room

Brian Lloyd Sinclair was the centre of attention, dressed in a suit and tie for the first time anyone could remember, and the distressing irony did not escape those paying respects at his funeral at a downtown chapel in Winnipeg on Friday that it took his ignoble death in a hospital waiting room to get him there.

As politicians jostled to express outrage that a dangerously ill disabled man could die while waiting 34 hours for treatment in the emergency room of a Winnipeg hospital, indigent friends of Mr. Sinclair scrounged dress shirts, matching shoes and showers at missions and social agencies so they could appropriately and respectfully say goodbye.

... And right wing politicians will ratchet up complaints about a "failed system", and increase their campaign for more private clinics... Like that would ever have helped this man...

A properly - meaning FULLY - funded health care system is the ONLY solution. Something like that in France or GB is needed.

Watch the right though... they'll keep pulling funding FROM health care, blame the "system" and the "bureaucracy", and use that argument to remove more services, close more hospitals, and privatize ever more services...

Westerngit . . . we are spending more money on health care today than ever before in history. Why would you make such a stupid statement . . . you sound like nutty Jack.
The Canadian system ranks way down on the world list. The Manitoba system is very low on the Canadian list . . . do you think it might be due to regional politics? The Peoples Republic of Manitoba has been an NDP stronghold for decades . . . and nutty Jack says the N dips have all the answers.
Until hospitals are paid a fee for service, like they are in Europe and the US . . . things will not change. Canadian hospitals get funding even if they do nothing. Also, a little competition for these fees for services would only be beneficial to all Canadians.
Private clinics work well for lefty politicians . . . why not for me.
