Doctors should have the right to refuse patients just as business owners should be able to turn away potential customers.
In a free market certainly, but medical care is socialized in Canada.
They've forced people into an system where they're denied medical care. And there are no other options in the country.
''Doctors should have the right to refuse patients just as business owners should be able to turn away potential customers.''
... and the first people they should refuse to treat are lawyers and politicians.
The problem is, we have a health care monopoly. If doctors within the system won't treat them, there is no where else for these patients to go.
This would be comparable to your HMO refusing to treat you, after you've been making payments your whole life. If an American HMO tried that on a wholesale basis, it would quickly lose its client base to competitors. Canadians don't have any alternative to the public monopoly.
"Doctors should have the right to refuse patients just as business owners should be able to turn away potential customers."
Not if they're taking government money. You seem to be under the delusion that this is the free market we're talking about. :)
... and everyone should have the right to choose whom they associate with socially or business wise, but...
That is now bigotry, profiling, discrimination or meanspiritedness and forbidden by by law
Ah, just think of all the money they WON'T be making. These are just the folks they can have a field day with!
