On Tuesday, Minister Christian Dubé will present his plan to “refound” the Quebec health system. Good luck ! Bringing the Stanley Cup back to Montreal, overthrowing Poutine, finding a parking spot on the Plateau are all far more achievable goals.

The Quebec health system has been overwhelmed since 1535, the year Jacques Cartier and his companions spent their first winter here: 100 of the 125 men caught scurvy. Imagine, 80% of the population affected. Major congestion in the emergency room. Especially since emergencies did not yet exist. As the future bridge said: “We had to build the ship in the middle of the crossing. “We never made up for this delay.
Radio-Canada revealed the main lines of the CAQ’s project: more staff in hospitals, better access to family doctors, more home care, better meals in CHSLDs, and private participation, but without the beneficiary must pay. In short, it’s going to be fine! All that remains is to promise that the hospital gown will no longer reveal our cracked buttocks, and everything will be fine in the best of all possible worlds.
Of course, the opposition parties have already torn to pieces the 50 measures proposed to achieve these ends. Poor Minister Dubé, the announcement has not yet been made that the brick and the beacon have already been thrown at him.
Not easy to tackle this task. It takes time to turn a huge ocean liner around, especially when it’s at the bottom of the water.
The problem with health is the sick. If there were no patients, our health network would work wonderfully.
All the efforts of governments are always concentrated on the staff, the doctors, the nurses, the attendants, the administrators, whereas the problem is the patients.
Not only do we have to focus on sports, diet and prevention, but we also need an incentive so that people are motivated to stay healthy.
What is the most powerful motivation? The check ! the cash ! The PM knows this well.
We must therefore give money to each person who stays away from the hospital system. If we can give almost everyone $500 to fight inflation, we can give everyone $500 to fight overcrowding. It’s not the bidoux that is missing. Minister Dubé’s plan will cost $9 billion over five years. Nine billion! It’s more than 1000 piastres per head of pipe. And only the sick benefit from it. Those who do well have no return on their investment.
The healthy check would remedy that. Of course, we must not forget that it is with our money that the State issues us a check. It is like the Christmas presents given by the child to his parents. It’s cute. How nice. But it is the parents who have paid for the gifts they receive. It’s easy for the ass to be generous. It’s not his sorrel, it’s that of his old people! So all the rebates and the candies of the leaders, it is always from us to us. That said, the process produces its effect, because it is money that we thought had disappeared.
Let’s summarize my plan. The health network is like a collector’s item: the less you use it, the less it costs you. Instead of repairing it, it should be put away. By rewarding people who don’t use it, we will eliminate all the minor discomforts that waste time and money for the structure, and that cause it to always be on the verge of breaking up.
If an apple a day keeps the doctor away, a check a year can do the same.
It is certain that even people in good shape end up dying. So sooner or later everyone is hospitalized, but if it’s to expire, it’s a good deal, a deceased costs nothing more. And for a long time.
After the Radio-Canada journalist divulged the content of his plan, Christian Dubé sent this tweet: not bottle the first pours. We have the right syrup for you for Tuesday! It looks like an enigma of Father Fouras. It suggests that our ears of cries have not heard everything. That he will have something new to teach us on Tuesday!
Perhaps it will be a question of the check for non-beneficiaries?
Cheers !
