À propos de cet audio
Dr. Brian Day, orthopedic surgeon, author, and healthcare reform advocate, discusses reports that the Alberta government will soon introduce legislation that would enable physicians to practice in both public and private systems simultaneously. He argues that this type of reform is needed because Canada's single-payer monopoly creates deliberate rationing, produces adverse health outcomes, and drives doctors abroad. He contends that hybrid healthcare models deliver better outcomes at lower costs, and that allowing private insurance and dual practice would increase physician supply while improving timely access to care for all income levels.
