We will begin to review issues which should take prominence in the upcoming federal election, whenever that may occur between now and next October. Issue 1: Healthcare for Canadians. The number of Canadians without a family doctor, currently at 6.5 million will swell to 10 million, or 25% of the national population. Meanwhile, seeing a specialist can take a year or longer in Canada and some people are dying undiagnosed. What is the possible solution? One argument is the introduction of additional private and insurable healthcare for Canadians. That is constantly decried and the doctor who has been at the forefront of the private healthcare for Canadians argument and has seen his arguments set aside by Canadian courts repeatedly is Dr. Brian Day. Guest: Dr. Brian Day. Founder, Cambie Surgery Centre, Vancouver. Author of My Fight for Canadian Healthcare: A Thirty-Year Battle to Put Patients First. Dr. Day is a past president of the Canadian Medical Association.   Learn more about your ad choices.
