Quebec has a two tier healthcare system and “private system” doctors are not covered by the provincial healthcare scheme because they charge much higher rates than permitted. Because of this, they bill directly to rich clients, clients with good health insurance, or desperate clients who can’t wait for the broken public system.

The solution is to pay doctors. Doctors in Quebec are paid much less than doctors in Ontario. This is despite the fact that healthcare costs in Quebec are higher than Ontario mostly due to a bloated bureaucracy that manages in.

This law is the equivalent of passing a law that “life must be good in Quebec”. Instead of fixing the real problem, they try to force doctors to work for lower wages than their peers. The consequences will be that prospective doctors will simply pay slightly more for a medical degree in another province and quickly recoup the costs by working in another province, or working in the corrupt private system in Quebec.

Typical assenine Quebec government solution, all bluster.
