"vouchers could be made available to help Canadians pay for costs such as long-term care or home care services"

This was how the conservative provincial government tried to sneak in privatization of long term care and home and community care in my province. (Source: I was one of the consultants brought in to assess the viability of the plan, and my contract was abruptly cancelled after I explicitly pointed out this was what they were doing)

Fortunately, COVID derailed the program, and a new government came in before it could be restarted. But, as a result, I am extra cautious and thorough anytime analysts mention voucher programs.
