To build a better health care system, we need to build better hospitals and clinics. We’re expanding and modernising our healthcare infrastructure across the country — so you can get the care you need, when you need it.

Did some airplane travel this week- the number of people back to wearing masks over hantavirus and Ebola is truly shocking. I feel sad for the people who live their lives in fear over over-hyped, extremely rare diseases. People, so fearful that they can't go out in public or travel without masks... I pity them, I worry for their mental health, I even worry for our country that has so many guillible people - but these poor fools are not my enemy.
