TY - JOUR T1 - It's time for CMA to put the lid on privatization JF - Canadian Medical Association Journal JO - CMAJ SP - 1156 LP - 1157 VL - 155 IS - 8 AU - C. Carver Y1 - 1996/10/15 UR - http://www.cmaj.ca/content/155/8/1156.abstract N2 - Family physician Cynthia Carver wasn't heartened by the CMA's "last-minute retreat" from a call to pursue privatization of health care. During its August annual meeting, the association not only supported a strong, publicly funded health care system but also passed a number of resolutions related to the private sector and the appropriate role for regulated private medical insurance in Canada. Carver proposes that the energy being expended on schemes to delist, privatize, define core services and design payment schemes should instead be applied to improving the existing system. ER -
