Ontario's health care system hasn't gotten better over the past four years despite a massive $9 billion infusion of new cash, a survey of voters in this province found.
An SES Research/Sun Media poll found 69 per cent of those surveyed believe the province's health care system is the same or worse than it was in 2003 when the Liberals came to power.
The poll found 51 per cent, one in two voters, believe little has changed within the health care system over that time, 18 per cent think health services are worse, 24 per cent believe the health care system has improved and seven per cent are unsure.
"When you look at the trade-off between those who think things have improved to those who think that it's worsened, it's not really a big improvement," said Nik Nanos, president of SES Research. "Considering the amount of extra cash that's been plowed into Ontario's health care system, I think for average Ontarians they're more likely to feel things have stayed the same."
