The Editor,
I support the B.C. government’s plan to stop unlawful billing by doctors.
If doctors want to make a fortune by extra billing, they should move to the U.S.A.
I don’t want them to start a American-style health care system in Canada wherein people lose their homes, etc. because they can’t afford the fees.
It seems to me that the top priority for these doctors is to earn big bucks and not to help patients.
As a retired career planning facilitator, it’s my opinion that these doctors who want to bill extra would be better suited to a job where money is the main objective.
Doctors should become doctors because their priority is to help people and they are driven by compassion, not greed.
We are blessed in Canada to have a universal health care system. Let’s not let these greed-driven people ruin it for the majority of us.
