OTTAWA, Canada In a last-ditch effort to convince Canadians that their public health care system should be privatized, Canadian Medical Association (CMA) President Robert Ouellet has promised to pull out all the stops during the associations annual meeting next week. Trouble is, Ouellets mission to lead the change to privatization is exactly the opposite of what 86 percent of Canadians want.
A new poll conducted by the Toronto-based Nanos Research points to overwhelming support 86.2 percent for strengthening public health care rather than expanding for-profit services.
With more than 8 in 10 Canadians supporting public solutions to make public health care stronger, there is compelling evidence that Canadians across all demographics would prefer a public over a for-profit health care system, said Nik Nanos, president of Nanos Research.

WTF are you talking about "for profit" ??? you think the medical professions are not for profit? Gimme a break the entire premise is just misleading... medical pros make money, insurance companies make money, and changing how we pay changes anything is a fantasy...
Unified healthcare or whatever you wish to call it is more for helping the medical profession than the people. Try and get a medical malpractice lawsuit once we have a locked in and nation wide unified healthcare system fully sponsored by government. Won't happen very often and certainly will not be easy.
