El Opinador Compulsivo

Ante las severas deficiencias del sector público, avanza la medicina privada con fines de lucro en Canadá. Horror de los horrores. Dónde se ha visto.

Hace unos días un comentarista, no me acuerdo quién, preguntaba si existía la medicina privada en el país:

Private for-profit clinics are permitted in some provinces and not allowed in others. Under the Canada Health Act, privately run facilities cannot charge citizens for services covered by government insurance.

But a 2005 Supreme Court ruling in Quebec opened the door for patients facing unreasonable wait times to pay-out-of-pocket for private treatment.
