No doctor in Canada is a government employee. They are all self employed, and some even receive payments privately.
The issue you are getting at is that for some (most) services, only the Government can be a "legal" customer.
- jimbokun 14y agoHaving a single "customer" and having a boss is a pretty fine semantic distinction, don't you think?
- run4yourlives 14y agoYes and no. "most" is not equivalent to "all", and there are several private health practices in Canada. http://falsecreekhealthcare.rtrk.ca/ http://falsecreekhealthcare.rtrk.ca/ http://www.csc-surgery.com/ http://www.csc-surgery.com/ There is an ever increasing grey area in Canada with regards to what procedures can be paid for by entities outside of the Government. It was actually recently found unconstitutional to deny someone willing to pay directly their medical services.
