[QUOTE="Lue C Fur, post: 737970, member: 25159"] Uh-Oh!!!! Looks like someone is going to get screwed. British Columbia is replacing block grants to hospitals with fee-for-procedure payments and Quebec has a new flat health tax and a proposal for payments on each medical visit -- an idea that critics say is an illegal user fee. And a few provinces are also experimenting with private funding for procedures such as hip, knee and cataract surgery. "We can't continually see health spending growing above and beyond the growth rate in the economy because, at some point, it means crowding out of all the other government services. "At some stage we're going to hit a breaking point." [/QUOTE]
