Getting away from the topic of "is or isn't Faytine a loon...and if you think she is are you anti Christian"

It's been suggested in media that healthcare is emerging as the major topic of this election.

Do you agree?

My take on it is that both the Liberals and the PC's partly are right. It needs more funding but it also needs major changes to the way the system is structured (a system and structure that is decades old)

The problem I see for Higgs is that the Libs saying "we'll spend — millions more" is a simple concept to sell to voters. Saying "we need to undertake major changes in the way healthcare is delivered and how the system is structured" is not.....and it would probably raise the specter of closures or service reductions in smaller centres.
