The premiers are asking for the feds to increase their share of health costs. Nothing about that in the Liberal playbook.
you simpleton! Negotiations are in the works... the wait was on the Premiers to get their act together and present a number. As it stands, that number is quite close to what the federal government has in-turn proposed. However, it seems the Premiers are a tad touchy about conditions being applied to their blank cheque want. If you were actually in the know on this subject, you would have provided the numbers and related details... but of course, per your barkingNormSelf you showcase your lack of knowledge in the matter. Perhaps try again - but try harder, hey!
Negations are in the works? Uhmmm huhmmm. For how many years now?
your blustering doesn't deflect from the fact you so struggle with facts/details... as in you have none and you provide none!
Let the waldo school you further:=> the latest request from provincial premiers asking the federal government for an increase to health transfers was presented this past March, albeit it was initially presented last 2020 fall... something about that pandemic thingee acted to constrain the federal government - you know, that $1 billion spent on vaccines, the $25 billion in direct funding to the provinces to, among other things, bolster their health systems, etc..
=> as it stands, the 2021-2022 federal government health transfer to the provinces will amount to ~$43 billion for health care, under an existing agreement that sees the amount rise by at least 3% per year.
=> the provincial premiers March 2021 request asks for a $28 billion increase to the 2021-2022 federal government health transfer rising by $4 billion each subsequent year after (an effective 6% increase a year thereafter).
=> the provincial premiers maintain the 2021-2011 ~$43 billion health transfer amount represents only 22% of overall provincial healthcare costs... and that the increase request will position the federal government to contribute 35% to the overall provincial healthcare costs.
the waldo shining a light: there is a need for {some} provinces to ALSO step-up their own game in funding health care in their respective provinces; for example: Albertans pay no user fees for health services; Albertans have the lowest provincial tax rate in Canada; Albertans have no provincial sales tax.
=>
waldo historical reference point: in 2011, Harper Conservatives set in place 6% health care transfer increases that would remain in effect until 2016-17, after which it would grow at a minimum of 3%, or a 3-year average of economic growth, whichever is higher. The Trudeau Liberal government has maintained that formula; since 2017-18, the increase has grown by an average of 3.64%.
=> in line with an election platform policy point, the Liberal federal government has proposed an increase of $25 billion in new health funding... with conditions that reflect upon said platform policy point; some of which are referenced in this graphic the waldo previously posted:
you're welcome lil' buddy - you're welcome!
