Doctors' group vows protests over Ottawa extra billing ban
CMA president Dr. Everett Coffin says the 38,000 member association will back provincial doctors against the Canada Health Act's move to end extra billing. Ontario and Alberta face service disruptions and possible strikes if provinces lose the right to charge patients. Meetings in Toronto will decide protest actions including a potential mass opt out by specialists. The act would eliminate extra charges and hospital user fees, with Ottawa able to impose dollar-for-dollar penalties on noncompliant provinces. Coffin warns the act underfunds medicare and threatens Canadian freedoms, accusing federal overreach into provincial jurisdiction.
