自由党竞选请君入瓮(全民医疗怪圈)
Campaigning Liberals Invoke Medicare Bogeyman
选民们还记得,医疗保险遭受的最大的灾难是自由党政府在上世纪90年代消灭赤字下的口号进行的。由于当时的财政部长保罗马丁下令,将医疗保健计划的资金削减并分给到各省。自由党很可能意识到在此时没有任一个党有特别的涉及到改善卫生保健制度的方案。
Voters also remember that Medicare suffered most under a deficit-fighting Liberal government in the 1990s, as then-Finance Minister Paul Martin ordered a slashing of funds to the provinces for programs such as health care. They have probably concluded at this point that no particular party has the answer when it comes to improving the health care system.
