And doing that without costing anything is total bunk.<br />This scheme is actually a coded threat directed at the livelihood of any doctor who dares to speak the truth. The unspoken threat is that you’ll have your property shanghaied and then you’ll be railroaded out of province if you don’t play along with the PC Stasi instructions.<br />This is just the same old MO with this bunch.Blame Crashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03736137844334640019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21136151.post-35849411910651636162012-04-02T12:41:25.795-06:002012-04-02T12:41:25.795-06:00Fictional doctors are as easy to conjure up as fic...Fictional doctors are as easy to conjure up as fictional clinics.<br />It’s all just part of the Big-Lie methods that she was instructed to use by her Ontario bureaucrats and Liberal Party sponsors and cohorts. <br />She’s just following orders.Blame Crashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03736137844334640019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21136151.post-63647916396022978242012-04-02T12:28:47.453-06:002012-04-02T12:28:47.453-06:00I'm interested in what the mandate of these cl...I'm interested in what the mandate of these clinics would be and if they will be in direct competition with the existing medical clinics around the province. What is the problem that this policy is supposed to address? How will the program be evaluated?<br /><br />I thought the problem was a lack of family doctors. Having more office space will not multiply the number of doctors.<br /><br />Why not spend some of that money, if it was available for spending, on additional training spaces to create more doctors and then let those doctors start their own clinics.RJ65noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21136151.post-20635778902891489492012-04-02T11:59:57.316-06:002012-04-02T11:59:57.316-06:00And where are they going to site these clinics?

Needless to say, the 'private' clinic has closed its doors. So no net gain of medical care in that community.Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16277713882450290045noreply@blogger.com
