Our Provincial Government is on the hot seat, for the lack of security when it comes to Patient Files. Seems that sensitive files were somehow, misplaced, misused, and well, just poorly handled, which I guess is a political thing, for now.
And yet, when people are being sent into our homes, they come ill prepared simply because no one is telling them why they are being sent. There is a dirth of information being given to them, though they can probably find all they need to know, on Google. Makes no sense, really.
Yet Carol James, Stephen Harper continue to cry about being ACCOUNTABLE, but I have to wonder, to whom? It seems to me, that it isn’t about being accountable to us, the people, but to their SPECIAL INTEREST SPONSORS. Somehow, that just seems wrong to me.
However, when it comes to helping people, it just seems today that our society is not about the individual, but more about corporate profits, about the bottom line. Yet many of the agencies hired to provide health services, are NON PROFIT. Now I don’t know, but to me, non profit means that they don’t make a profit, though I would also assume it means they don’t lose money. That they still have to meet their expenses, and maybe have a bit left over, as a reserve.
And yet these Non Profit Agencies are buying up other companies, right, left, and center, somehow.
Somehow, we have lost sight of the true purpose of health care. It isn’t about making money, least it wasn’t when I was growing up. Yet today, it is. That says a lot, about our society, I think, and worse, about us as human beings.
