If Harper is intending to balance the budget by '14 - '15 with his economic policies

he will have to cut the Health Care transfer payments.

This is especially true if he carries through with Harper's threat (sorry, campaign promise???) to spend $10's billions in implementing his Criminal Legislation; as well as, his $30 billion, and counting, purchase of 65 F-35's; his excessive and wasteful $6/yr reduction in Corp taxes that will cost us multos $10's of billions.

It's just that simply.

So, what 'change' in Health Care could we expect from Harper

“The message for Canadians is clear: The Harper government not only holds Parliament in contempt, it also seems to view Canadians who strongly support public health care with contempt as well,” said Michael McBane, National Coordinator of the Canadian Health Coalition. “This does not bode well for the future of Medicare.”

"Until 2005 Harper believed in two-tier care and when asked by the CBC about a parallel health care system, said:

'Well I think it would be a good idea.'

Harper has been a member of the National Citizens Coalition for almost two decades — and it was founded explicitly to oppose publicly funded, universal Medicare. He ran the organization from 1998-2002, during his political hiatus.";

and,

"In a response to the 2002 Throne Speech, Mr. Harper said: 'A government monopoly is not the only way to deliver health care to Canadians."

Stephen Harper's speech to the Council for National Policy, June 1997 (it doesn't sound like he's joking):
"First, facts about Canada. Canada is a Northern European welfare state in the worst sense of the term . . ."
