A few things to consider here no matter who is in power in Ottawa.

1. We are spending (collectively) over 1.2 Trillion every 5 years on Health Care
2. Many of our more populous provinces increase their portion 1.9-3% pe  year
3. 70% of all costs go to administration (great deal for the sick huh?) 
4. 10 little fiefdoms all doing their own thing in a inefficient system they won't change

SO while Ottawa could do more and more.. I'd say the provinces (which are in charge here)  Need to step up if they want even more from federal coffers.  Ottawa has no say excepting how much to give  It's fully up to the provinces to get their collective houses in order...
