Private ER sets stage for showdown in Vancouver

Canadian flist people (especially topaz7 because I think she lives closest), what do y'all think about this? As an almost complete outsider (I'm not Canadian but I do work in the healthcare field), my reaction was basically a shuddery slippery-slope feeling. I may be totally off the mark, here, which is why I'm asking. This is just the first one in B.C., right, not in the whole country?

Also, Americans, what do you think about the way healthcare works in the US, either as opposed to other countries or just in itself?

For the most part, I agree with you. There are some individual people who try to buck the system, but yeah, it's easy to be corrupted. Docs don't even work with patients directly during their first two years of medical school. They study pathology, but don't see patients. No wonder they talk about patients as "The mastectomy in room 404" instead of "Patty Jones, who had a mastectomy yesterday". They come out of the trenches with blinders on.
