With Pending World Food Shortage, I Did Some Off Top Calculation For Hospital Food Supply For Say 20,000 Canadian Hospital Beds
When one considers food just to feed people in hospital at 20,000 beds, say four types of fruit being rotated by hospital Dietician, that would be 5,000 bananas,5,000 oranges, 5,000 apples and 5,000 pears per day. Then yogurts, at least one a day to maintain intestinal track bacteria, those are one hell of a production line at 20,000 yogurts per day, say divided by four different yogurt companies, that is one high speed packaging line of 5,000 yogurts a day just for hospital food. Then just milk alone for breakfast, 20,000 150ml milk containers is 3,000 L of milk at a cost of about $5,250.00 @ a $1.75 a Litre. This morning I had porridge for cereal, it is cheaper to serve than packaged cereal then half a bagel, so if the country all had bagels for breakfast in hospital like me it would be 10,000 bagels where a bag of six bagels cost around $3.00 then bagel serving cost would be about $5,000. Individual margarine and cream cheese packaged food is 20,000 units each at what cost I'm not sure. Coffee with a creamer, say coffee cost is a $1.00 there is another $20,000 for country's hospital breakfast bill. Say 50 cents for the cream cheese and margarine individual packaging, there is another $10,000. Orange juice at 141 ml unit container, what a $1.00 for another $20,000. so a simple breakfast bill comes to over $60,250.00 when one figures out the cost of porridge, then labour preparation costs and serving cost breakfast in hospital at said amount of beds is over $100,000.00 a day.
Now a typicl hospital lunch, a small plate consisting of a spoonful of hungarian goulash,serving of yellow waxed beans with one serving of mashed potatoe, say $3.00 for the main meal for $60,000.000, before the main course a soup is served o n the tray, say $1.00 for the serving of cream of carrot soup for $20,000, a rice pudding cup say at half a dollar for $10,000.00, the apple sauce cup apparently costs $1.50 for $30,000.00, then the cup of tea call it a dollar between hydro costs to boil water and the tea bag for $20,000.00. The country's lunch time hospital bill comes to $140,000.00 never mind food preparation and serving costs, lets say $600,000.00 in person hours at union wage for another $200,000.00 lunch time bill for 20,000 hospital beds.
Now a typical supper is not all that different from a hospital lunch, but you figure a plate put together with a chicken leg or meat loaf you can figure $8.00 for the tray being put together for supper. At 20,000 beds that is $160,000 and 60,000 food preparation costs and serving is $220,000 for hospital supers at at said number of beds. That makes for $520,000.00 per day at basic cost but one has to multiply by 1.5% for under estimational hindsight and snacks, so that brings the bill to about $780,000.00 per day to feed 20,000 people with some sort of Dietician on hand.
Now Prime Minister Harper has got a lot to learn about financing, just for the Canadian aboriginal community that is under funded here goes:
$780,000.00 to feed 20,000 people
Thus X amount of dollars to feed 1,400,685 aboriginal people by 2014 census
Therefore: $780,000.00 = 20,000
________ _____________
X = 1,400,685
Hence:20,000X = $780,000.00 x 1,400685
X =$ 15,505,137 to feed the under privileged aboriginal community with a Dietician,so right off the bat the Federal Government owes the aboriginal community the $15.5 million a day to feed them on reserves as to some sort of medical health standard. A Native reserve is a form of aboriginal hostile, coming from the word hospital, so pay up Harper!!!!
After my coffee break I will illustrate the math for Provincial Transfer Payments from Health Canada that is owed per day from Federal Government, your budget is blown Harper, you have no surplus!!!
OK. now for Health Canada Provincial Transfer Payments:
Starting with 20,000 hospital beds across the country at a cost of $4000.00 a day to run
Total 20,00 hospital bed budget per day in Canada amounts to $80,000,000.00
divided by 12 Provincial Governments = $6,666,666.66 .......Per day allowing for Northern elevated costs or island folk costs.
3 months per quarter at 30 days per month is 90 days
90 days x $6,666,666.66 /day operational hospital bed cost per Province
=$599,999,999.40 owed to Provinces per quarter before percentage rate applies
Like the Federal Government I will apply percentage rates as follows:
7% GST that is Government sick tax percentage =
$41,999,999.96 per quarter for hospital beds, then
7% PST that is Poison Sick Tax percentage =
$294,000,000.00 per quarter for hospital beds transfer payments
That is Health Canada Transfer payments to Provinces $1,176,000,000.00 per year for hospital beds costs.
Get the message Harper, you have no surplus!!!
What else is Health Canada for palmettes on food, inspectors etc, now lets inspect Health Canada's books!!!
Canada can cut back on the proposed fighter jet purchase and be there for P.TS.D. with vets and be there for Canadians with a health budget with Health Canada support!!!
With an Internet search there were approximately 115,000 hospital beds in Canada by 2003
