    Don’t worry, the late crack smoking former mayor of Toronto Rob Ford’s brother Doug Ford will just privatize healthcare and that will fix everything.

    /s in case that wasn’t clear.

    Why is there such a huge increase in chronic illness?

      hm not sure, perhaps because the non-hospital medical care isn’t treating patients effectively (overworked & overloaded) leading to the development of chronic issues

      the population is also older, like other rich nations

        If I’m reading this right this won’t account for impacts of the pandemic and the burdens of long covid, as the data was taken from 2002 to 2020. I imagine numbers are likely to get revised upwards.
