Abstract
Family physician Cynthia Carver wasn't heartened by the CMA's "last-minute retreat" from a call to pursue privatization of health care. During its August annual meeting, the association not only supported a strong, publicly funded health care system but also passed a number of resolutions related to the private sector and the appropriate role for regulated private medical insurance in Canada. Carver proposes that the energy being expended on schemes to delist, privatize, define core services and design payment schemes should instead be applied to improving the existing system.
