"A recent survey in Esquimalt showing an increasing number of residents relying on paid-subscription-based primary care clinics is the predictable result of an ongoing shortage of family physicians, says the B.C. Conservatives’ rural health critic. “There’s no walk-in clinics left down there anymore, . . .other than to go and sit in an ER for 12 hours, potentially.”" Doctors and nurse are not merely being "poached" by private medical clinics but most have not been hired back after mandates lifted for the public. "Subscriptions range from $80 to $250 a month for individuals, with a discount for paying annually, and $120 a month or about $1,200 annually for a family." "Osborne said the Health Ministry is committed to making sure access to quality health care “is based on need, not ability to pay.”" Here in Canada, our taxes pay for basic healthcare. The way Canadians look at accessing healthcare services is shifting, and the more Canadians will need to pay out of pocket for services they used to take for granted. Accessing natural health options requires a mindset shift, moving from emergency care to preventive care, to giving the body the tools it needs to begin the task of healing going forward. People who want herbal medicine while still respecting what modern science has taught us, will appreciate the phytotherapeutic approach given in my current book project. When this project is done, it will inform other book projects in the pipeline. But it's time Canadians get used to the idea of paid health care, because the alternative is increasinly, death.

Just a taste from tomorrow's blog (you can subscribe here https://johnhrusky.substack.com ) Swamp Leader Thune Accused of Laundering Millions – Explains the Trump Betrayal? In a bombshell that’s got the swamp sweating, Senate Majority Leader John Thune — supposedly a Republican — is staring down an FEC complaint accusing him of orchestrating a whopping $1.1 million money laundering scheme into his campaign coffers through “smurfing,” that sleazy tactic of splintering big bucks into tiny donations using stolen identities of unsuspecting seniors. Filed by sharp-eyed investigator Peter Bernegger, the gripe fingers Thune and his treasurer Nicole Weyers for allegedly funneling cash straight from the U.S. Treasury, painting Thune as just another “pretend Republican” who’s spent over 40 years sucking at the government teat without a real job in sight. Bernegger’s no rookie; he’s nailed similar scams against turncoats like Lindsey Graham and a slew of Democrats, exposing how platforms like WinRed become playgrounds for fraudsters. If this holds water — and early buzz suggests it’s legit — it’s no wonder Thune’s been dragging his feet on anything Trump-related, from ditching the race in 2016 to cheerleading the endless Ukraine cash grab while blocking votes to cut off the Taliban’s weekly allowance. This FEC fiasco shines a glaring light on why Thune’s been about as helpful to Trump’s agenda as a screen door on a submarine, stonewalling efforts to codify those powerhouse executive orders into ironclad law — because let’s face it, most Republicans are neck-deep in the same graft and fraud game as the Democrats, lining their pockets while pretending to fight the system. Thune’s history of backstabbing Trump, from begging him to bow out for Pence to enabling endless foreign aid boondoggles, screams “controlled opposition,” bought and paid for by the same deep-state donors who thrive on chaos and corruption. As Bernegger’s complaint ripples out, it’s a wake-up call for real conservatives: time to purge these RINOs who talk a big game but deliver zilch, proving once again that Trump’s the only one draining the swamp while the rest wallow in it. If Republicans want to keep the majority, they’d better start acting like it — or get ready for the MAGA broom to sweep them out.
