Health care takes back seat to economy
REGINA -- In an election campaign that`s been dominated by minutiae like sweater vests and pooping puffins and big issues like economic tumult and climate change, health care has seemingly been an afterthought.
While the NDP and Liberals have put out health-care proposals, there has been little significant national debate on the state of the health-care system so far.
And while some opinion polls have pegged health as the second-most important issue to Canadians, candidates say that on the doorstep it`s been overshadowed by the No. 1 concern -- the economy.
