Is this the future ,as the government runs out of money that it can borrow by deficit from others ?

So what are the options ?

  • can we reduce the administration over head of the government  compliance system and use the savings to pay those front line workers who actually do the service work?
  • can we flat line the levels of compliance -do we really need 3 levels of Ministry health bureaucrats to disperse the funds ?
  • can we encourage better care by paying those that are doing the work or caring functions at home ?
  • can we reduce wage inflation , can we reward performance ?
  • can we use natural health processes to enhance health and well being ,
  • can we use technology to enhance health and well being or quality of life 
Can we stop the double dipping and hijacked programs such as home care in registered retirement facilities.

Is the crisis real or just another way to gouge more sympathy and funds from a caring but uninformed public . Will the fear generate solutions or force more funds into a less than perfect system of care?
