What problem do people believe private health insurance is going to fix?
It is true there are examples of jurisdictions that value universal health insurance coverage and also allow private insurance; the U.K. and Sweden would be two. But it is important to note that although these countries, among others, may allow for private insurance, they still have many of the same problems with their healthcare system that Canada does. -
Sunshine rules should shed light on colleges, government
I am all for transparency. I believe the back-room deals, the hidden agendas of our regulatory bodies, and the power grab by everyone who takes money from we physicians should be better defined for our patients to understand what is really going on. When it comes to this type of disclosure, don’t expect it any time soon. Physicians should be transparent, not government and regulators.
