We can say with high assurance by now that running healthcare systems to near full capacity in 'normal' times, without ability to absorb seasonal fluctuations, is a shit model.
And the structural inability to adjust that capacity over time to respond to a longer term public health challenges is also a shit model.
Maybe, finally, senior managers and deputy ministers of these systems will succeed with funding for prevention services to stem the tide? Since these other models are proven to be shit.
How much does an ER visit cost? Compared to how much a mask costs, or how much street-level harm reduction costs?
Maybe if they reduce the funding again it will fix it.
