Health care shouldn’t be political. But politicians are riled up after the story of a woman who died in the Emergency Department in Amherst on New Year’s Eve. Liberal Leader Zach Churchill is asking why government's first response to the death in Cumberland County was to threaten legal action towards those who advocated on behalf of the grieving family. He says the letter has since been rescinded, which is further evidence that the decision to send it was motivated by politics. Churchill is a long time MLA and a former Health Minister. In this conversation we discuss privacy, death in the Emergency Room, managing expectations and the need to do better.
