admitting it could stand improvement, are on the whole quite pleased with
it.

Our plan is on the brink of collapse. If we had been as affected by the
recent recession as the rest of the world was, we'd be f*cked. Health
care takes up almost 50% of the provincial budget here in Saskatchewan.

There is NO room left.

Take out a tree or two. There's plenty of room up there.


50%. Think about that.

That's good. It means that your administrative overhead is small(er).
Look at D.C. and the crap they plan for this healthcare debacle!

Why is Saskatchewan so heavy on the medical? Lower incomes? Fewer
people? What?
