PRIVATE MONEY subsidizes STATE MEDICINE.
Founder & CEO of MATTAMY HOMES Ltd., PETER GILGAN donated $40,000,000 to TORONTO SICK CHILDRENS' HOSP. RESEARCH & LEARNING CENTER.
(Strictly according to OHIP rules a MD could be fined for giving Mr.GILGAN -or his family-priority medical attention).
This absurdity makes a mockery of the Ontario State monopoly of (never defined) MEDICALLY NECESSARY MEDICINE.
As with USA Prohibition the Ontario OHIP rules are broken daily through use of "WELLNESS CENTRES" that at do not bill OHIP for the DOCTOR visits, (but bill OHIP for investigations). The trick is that the office provides ext ra services e.g. a Dietitian or Physiotherapist. An example is The Toronto CLEVELAND CLINIC CANADA -30,000 sq.ft.- that charges about $3,500/yr for unlimited medical services, a five hour annual exam and direct commuinication with the USA Cleveland Clinic.
QUEBEC has allowed PRIVATE HOSPITALS ( e.g. ROCKLANDMD)

GPs: 2013 Ontario pay lower; USA pay higher
Ontario Health Insurance reduced all MDs' pay by 0.5%
USA Medicare increased GPs pay by 7%.
Toronto emigration lawyers with USA offices expected to have increased business.
California & Florida preferred.
Escape from irritating time-wasting CPSO investigations about trivial patient complaints such as not prescribing antibiotics for minor respiratory complaints or refusing to perjure oneself signing phoney disability and sickness forms.

URBAN HOUSE CALLS a waste of medical talent.
Most URBAN HOUSE CALLS are a waste of Medical talent. Can easily be done by a visiting DISTRICT NURSE: an important person in the UK NHS since 1947.
House Calls are useful in making sure that there are no safety hazards such as loose carpets. That there is food in a clean fridge. That there are Aids-to-Daily-Living in the bedroom, toilet and bath. That smoke and Carbon monoxide detectors work.
Urine dip-stick , and Diabetic blood tests can be done by a Nurse.As well as Blood pressure.and other vital signs.
Office visits are more CLINICALLY valuable as more equipment is available together with other paramedical services.
In most Ontario cities there are Wheel-Trans facilities that cost between $2-3 a journey. making a visit to the GP cheap and easy.
Stairs can be a problem Many GP offices have ramps and elevators. An OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST
is valuable in advising Structural Alterations and various PERSONAL Aids.for dressing and cooking.
A visiting PHYSIOTHERAPIST can instruct DIY exercises and provide simple equipment.to maintain muscle strength
Relatives should learn FIRST AID. An OXYGEN CYLINDER (with a suction adaptor) is a good investment especially in Rural areas. Electronic personal emergency devices improve yearly. and are now inexpensive.
