NDP proposes more talking to combat disease
by Scott Gilbreath ~ May 24th, 2009
The Nova Scotia NDP offers another amazingly innocuous ingenious plan to improve health care if it wins the provincial election on 9 June. To reduce chronic disease rates, it will set up two ongoing gabfests—a council and a task force—and it will “work closely” with medical professionals. The sheer genius of NDP leader Darrell Dexter is simply staggering.
N.S. NDP plans to reduce rates of disease
Nova Scotia’s NDP has developed a plan it hopes would help reduce the rates of disease in the province, including cancer and diabetes.
Party leader Darrell Dexter says Nova Scotians have some of the worst chronic disease rates in the country, but he believes that trend can be stopped.
If elected on June 9th, Dexter says an NDP government would create a task force that would identify ways to help lower the rates of acute and chronic illnesses in the province.
The NDP is also promising to establish a council made up of representatives from health advocacy groups and the government that would award so-called healthy living grants.
No doubt about it: If the NDP is elected, disease in Nova Scotia will be talked to death.
