I agree with André Picard's five-point health-care fix and would like to suggest a sixth point: collaboration among governments, stakeholders and the public (The Trouble With Health Care - Feb. 27). The soon-to-expire health accords, which laid out a blueprint to help rein in spending and ensure universal, high-quality care for Canadians, were a prime example of the usefulness of this type of co-operation. Now is the time for governments to recommit and engage each other, the system's many stakeholders and, of course, members of the public - all of whom have a vested interest in the future of our publicly funded health-care system.
