    John Rustad was the leader of the BCCP at the time when all the SoCred/BCLib/BCUPs ran over to join him, and he said:

    Hospitals now cut services to meet their budget because they look at patients as a cost, he said. “We actually need to reverse that, we need to look at patients as revenue generators.”
    What John Rustad is pitching

    From a Lemmy Post during the last election.

    no, he’s not. if that was the case, they could have just made a public commitment not to move towards a 2-tier system. but they won’t, because that is exactly what they want.

      I’m pissed at him for his snap election and trump rhetoric, but this is something I do agree with him on.

      Imagine if we could have them write a legally binding contract that says things like we commit to not move towards a 2 tier system and any attempt to do so will immediately trigger a new election.

      Obviously you cant do that for everything, but there are many things like this that you could.

      It’d probably need to be part of election law where on some form they write the pre condition.
