The Manitoba government’s plan to bolster the burned-out health-care workforce with more than 300 Filipino nurses and aides could face delays as negotiations on immigration drag on and a promised fast-track to license foreign nurses stalls.

A commentary by a Victorian resident.
You think you’ve been living and eating right. You get humbled by a life-threatening health crisis but then you’re saved.
Who saved me? It was the brilliant team of workers at the Royal Jubilee Hospital in Victoria.
Last week I was parking my school bus and I felt awful. My chest hurt and I was dizzy and nauseous.

California’s Medicaid experiment spends money to save money — and help the homeless
Craig McEwen, a former professional football player, hugs Veronica Ortiz, a lead care manager for Serene Health in San Diego County. McEwen endured repeated concussions during his NFL career in the late 1980s and has since seen his mental and physical health deteriorate. He is on Medi-Cal and an enrollee in a new health care benefit in California aimed at helping at-risk patients get healthier.
