Since I am paying nearly 20K a year, it is difficult to accept that Quebec students will not pay that over the entire course of their medical education. Perhaps I could console myself with the old adage "you get what you pay for"....but that would merely be a $48,000 dig. I wonder how the tuition disparity between schools is justified?

A few years ago my excellent doctor got $15 for each patient for an office visit. For God's sake! Politicians, pharmaceutical and insurance companies, and medical supply companies charge huge but the physicians and patients are the resource from which they profit.. When government treats health care as a business (roll in your grave, Tommy Douglas) the quality of health care is bound to decline. Wait times are rising and the cost of prescription drugs has gone through the roof. Our health care system started out as a service to everyone; if selfishness had not become the operating principle it still would be. Young doctors need to graduate without massive debt, and the CMA and medical schools need to accept and train more doctors.
