AB  - During the CMA's recent annual meeting in Winnipeg, General Council delegates agreed that as far as Canada's health care system is concerned, maintenance of the status quo is impossible. Some delegates were motivated by the principle of professional autonomy, while others approached the issue from a public-policy perspective. Still others were driven by outrage at what is happening to physicians' incomes. But delegates barely resisted the pull of a vocal group of physicians who favour giving Canadians the right to choose regulated private insurance for all medical services. The compromise position, for now at least, is that delegates want the CMA to lead a public debate on the future of health care.
