Health-election

Who's standing up for Canada's health care system?   With only a little over a week left in the federal election campaign, the issue of health care seems stuck in the shadows.  That has the Ontario Health Coalition  very concerned.

Listen to Lisa Naccarato's report on health care and the federal election

Every election, both federal and provincial the Ontario Health Coalition, a non-partisan group, rates each party's platform as it relates to health care issues, but not this time.
"This election has been characterized by a lack of information on health care and that's a problem", says Natalie Mehra the Coalition's director .   Sh says the conservatives haven't even released a platform yet, and the one's put out by the other parties are so "flimsy" the group doesn't have enough information, so instead it's thinking of rating the parties on their past records.
