""The Ontario Medical Association estimates one million Ontarians don't have family physicians""

ONTARIANS DON'T HAVE HEALTH CARE?! Canada should socialize the healthcare system,that would solve the problem. Socialization solves all problems.

oh wait- Canada's healthcare system is socialized. My BAD

They may not have health care but I bet they all have health insurance.

As one of my heros, PJ O'Rourke, says: "If you think medical care is expensive now, wait until it is free."

Does this mean Canadians will be sneaking into the US for *gasp* healthcare?

Send those doctors to the US. We could use a few with balls like that.

70% of the population of the Peoples Republic of Canuckistan live within 50 miles of capitalist medical care... and use freely available services constantly!

What is the population of Ontario? Canada, having a total population of around 25 million (with 90% living within 100 miles of the US border), Ontario has to have a sizable chunk of that number.

1 Million without a doctor has to be a very high % of the population.

McGuinty's government is too busy chasing down pit bulls to care.

Oh, this one is easy.

Canada just needs to force the doctors to work there. Just threaten them with jail time.

Fits nicely into the existing system in Canada.
