Don’t worry, the late crack smoking former mayor of Toronto Rob Ford’s brother Doug Ford will just privatize healthcare and that will fix everything.

Why is there such a huge increase in chronic illness?
hm not sure, perhaps because the non-hospital medical care isn’t treating patients effectively (overworked & overloaded) leading to the development of chronic issues
the population is also older, like other rich nations
Covid sequelae and poor lifestyle are two pretty big contributors
If I’m reading this right this won’t account for impacts of the pandemic and the burdens of long covid, as the data was taken from 2002 to 2020. I imagine numbers are likely to get revised upwards.
