That is untrue. There are almost a dozen within 30 minutes of where I live.

Please provide links.

Doctors are not able to work in both the public and private systems, they have to choose.

There are a few clinics that provide care entirely outside the public system but since the demand is low they are rare beyond MRI clinics in a few provinces.

But please, send me links to the dozen of private clinics (dont work in the public system) that are 30 mins of where you live.

I'm not going to doxx myself.

Demand used to be low, it is increasing steadily due to mismanagement.

If you don't trust me, type "private clinic toronto" into Google Maps.

I see clinics doing sports medicine, endoscopies and sexual health. Lots of comments about “super expensive”.

No hospitals or major research centers that would actually be anywhere near the issues happening in NS.

[sudosysgen]

I never said hospitals. I said clinics. Research is not something the private sector wants to do in this domain, because it's not profitable.

If all you saw was endoscopies and sports health, you weren't looking. There are tons of generalist clinics.

What kind of community clinic would see this? The "whistleblower" in this article is a member of the health authority. You expect a generalist seeing rich people for their arthritis to be diving into this?

[sudosysgen]

That's exactly the point. Private healthcare is not interested in this case at all, nor in any cases like it. It's not profitable.

Also the whistleblower isn't a member of the health authority. He's an employee of Vitalité Network which has a contact with the health authority but is also allowed to operate privately under some provisions.
