The same way they fixed...

...Ontario's power generation crisis...
The health ministry has approved a plan that front-line doctors fear will create an even deeper health care crisis: outsourcing hundreds of allogeneic transplants to three American centres at a cost of more than $100 million (U.S.). So far, the program has proved a hard sell. Only 19 of 202 patients approved for transplants to date in Cleveland, Buffalo and Detroit have agreed to go.

“If there is that money, why can’t we spend it to fix our system?” asks Dr. Richard Wells, a clinician-scientist at Sunnybrook’s Odette Cancer Centre. “Is that not the obvious thing?”
Don't look at me... I didn't vote for them.
