A Brand New Day?

(Please excuse the pun, a friend of mine had a bunch left over from Stockwell's 2000 leadership and I got a great deal.)

One of the best healthcare developments in a long time is the election of Dr. Brian Day as the head of the Canadian Medical Association. Dr. Day laid out a series of goals that respect universal healthcare access while attacking the state's dangerous monopoly. You can read more here, but the key message for Canadians is this "“No one wants to adopt a so-called American-style health system … there are systems with universal coverage and no wait lists. They do deliver better care at less cost than here in Canada.”

If Dr. Day can sell that message we might actually start to make some progress.
