". . . The
scientific opportunities are too exciting, the global stakes
are too high, and the pace is too rapid for the Canadian health research
community not to soar above internal challenges. Together, we must
articulate a vision so compelling, so large, so exciting, so important,
and so essential to Canada's future, that it becomes inevitable."
. . . from Dr. Alan Bernstein's 2005 Keynote Address to the
Canadian Academies of Health Sciences.

BLOGS
Insiders reveal their true feelings on this blog:
” . . .we already have a private health care system that
in general works
really well: labs, dentists, private research and development, drugs,
psychology, OT, social work and the other therapies, ambulances,
nursing organizations, consultants, lawyer and accountants,
private nursing companies, nursing and retirement homes, devices, alternative
therapies. . . .
. . . . It is the bloated public system that is broken.” Join the discussion HERE:
