GLORIOUS AND NOT SO FREE :

Quebec to Force Doctors Back to Emergency Rooms (Reuters, July 25, 2002)
A desperate Quebec government prepared on Thursday night to pass legislation to force angry doctors back from holidays to ease the chronic staff shortages in emergency rooms. [...]

The Parti Quebecois government is hoping on Thursday night to pass legislation that will alienate the powerful doctor federations in the Canadian province of 7.3 million people.

Furious doctors demonstrated against the proposed law in Quebec City on Thursday and said it would only increase tensions with the government. They have threatened to challenge the law in the courts and resign en masse. Four doctors working in the Shawinigan area resigned on Thursday in protest.


This is the health care system that Democrats want to impose here? Thank God for the Buchanan voters of Palm Beach. Posted by Orrin Judd at July 27, 2002 7:13 AM
