Single-payer woes

May 3, 2006

Finding a PCP really shouldn’t be that hard:

Terry Daley thought her year-long search for a family doctor was over when she heard London physicians last month were appealing for more patients.

But Daley and others who filled out applications say they have been discriminated against by doctors who are cherry-picking healthy patients and rejecting people with medical problems.

Update:
To clear up any confusion – this is from London, Ontario, Canada. Which is indeed a single-payer system.
