Abstract
The Fraser Institute, a conservative think tank based in Vancouver, has called for the establishment of a parallel private health care sector to relieve pressure on the public system, encourage the development of medical technology, stimulate the economy and create jobs. The proposal includes establishment of competition by separating the roles of purchaser and provider of health care, and the creation of a medical premium account for each Canadian that would be funded by government but apportioned by the patient.
