ontario must find ways to cut health care costs before they eat the entire budget premier dalton mcguinty told york region supporters this week the province needs a broad er public conversation about health care which accounts for half its spending and at the rate costs are rising could consume it all by 2020 he said it is truly compromising our ability to invest in our younger generation mr mcguinty added arguing the province to guarantee its future prosperity will also need to invest more in higher education and skills training one way to lower ontarios health care costs is to have the federal government run a national drug plan as canadas premiers proposed last week he told local liberals at a markham banquet hall the federal liberals commit ted in their own election plat form to cover catastrophic drug costs but not to a fullscale pharmacare plan mr mcguinty acknowledged this but said such a plan was a next logical step for healthcare as it is every canadian province and territory negotiates separately to pay for drugs with cancer medications for exam ple rising by 35 per cent a year the premier said the drug companies pick us off one by one prime minister paul martin on the other hand could use the buying power of 30 million peo ple to make better deals he said were not enriching ourselves were not paying off pals addressing a friendly crowd mat included many campaign volunteers and donors mr mcguinty admitted hes had a rough start as premier critics have dogged his early days in office accusing him of making false promises but if hes guilty of anything mr mcguinty said its being overly ambitious for ontarians before his election victory last fall and thats better than siding with cynics who say governments cant do anything right he said we cant wait for the cynics to come around to the endless possibilities for ontario the liberals ran last fall with a sense of optimism that must not be lost mr mcguinty said thats our job to bring hope to the people of ontario he didnt deny he broke a promise not to raise taxes but said the party didnt know how big a financial mess it would inherit facing a 56billion shortfall the premier said he wasnt will ing to fire teachers turf tens of thousands of seniors from nurs ing home beds or close ontarios community colleges instead he made what he called an agonizing but respon sible decision to create a health care levy generating money mr mcguinty insisted will go to health care were not enriching ourselves were not paying off pals he added the liberals will pass new laws forcing governments to expose hidden deficits before an election and fixing election dates with oct 4 2007 being the first mr mcguinty said no more playing around with the dates or playing around with the books those will
