Canadian Doctors Agree That Their System Is Imploding

Topics:

No real surprise here, Canada's healthcare system has been a disaster for patients and government alike, and it's an example of what the Dems' public option would bring to America's healthcare system.

Jennifer Graham writes at CFP:

SASKATOON -- The incoming president of the Canadian Medical Association says this country's health-care system is sick and doctors need to develop a plan to cure it.

Dr. Anne Doig says patients are getting less than optimal care and she adds that physicians from across the country - who will gather in Saskatoon on Sunday for their annual meeting - recognize that changes must be made.

"We all agree that the system is imploding, we all agree that things are more precarious than perhaps Canadians realize," Doing said in an interview with The Canadian Press.

"We know that there must be change," she said. "We're all running flat out, we're all just trying to stay ahead of the immediate day-to-day demands."
