According to Globe and Mail Columnist André Picard:
“An overwhelming 86 per cent of Canadians favour “public solutions” for bolstering medicare, according to a new poll. The survey, commissioned by the Canadian Health Coalition, is being released Wednesday as a pre-emptive strike. That is because the Canadian Medical Association, at its coming general council meeting, plans to stage a high-profile discussion about transforming medicare, and it will release its own poll on support for privately delivered care. Michael McBane, national co-ordinator of the Canadian Health Coalition, said he has no doubt that poll will show strong support for “privatization schemes” but the “language used in the CMA survey was so vague and misleading that its results cannot possible be interpreted as support for more for-profit medicine.” He said that the outgoing CMA president, Robert Ouellet, operates private medical imaging clinics and is promoting a personal agenda that is out of step with Canadian values.”

À propos de la campagne sur l’assurance-maladieLes soins de santé privatisés à but lucratif représentent une menace sérieuse pour notre santé et notre portefeuille. Plus de soins de santé privatisés à but lucratif signifie moins de soins de santé publics, une réalité que les Canadiens ne peuvent se permettre. Une écrasante majorité de Canadiens appuient notre système public de soins de santé. Mais il y a un petit nombre de puissants opposants, y compris des compagnies d’assurance, des politiciens de droite et des médecins motivés par l’appât du gain, qui tentent de saboter le système public de soins de santé. La Coalition canadienne de la santé de la santé est un organisme public de défense voué à préserver et à améliorer le régime d’assurance maladie.
