Solution: Increase access to Primary Health Care

Answer

Our access to primary care is dependent on family physicians being able to run small businesses while simultaneously providing services. Over the past 20 years, bandaid solutions like one-time injections of money and increasing investments in walk-in clinics style care have fractured our overall care. 

  1. Will you fund community health centers like we do schools and hospitals and provide salary options for doctors so they can focus on primary care? 
  2. What do you and your party propose to do to prevent the growth of corporate virtual care and investor-owned private clinics and to invest in the public provision of team based primary care?
