Is this the time to increase private healthcare delivery options in Canada? How does anyone answer "no" with more than 6 million Canadians having no primary care physician? If the answer is "no" is it so truly to protect Canada's public healthcare system, or to protect political capital? Our guest argues Canada's public health care was once the envy of the world, but no longer. He has for decades fought in court and in the court of public opinion for patients to have greater options to seek and obtain the care they immediately require.

Guest: Dr. Brian Day, Founder, Cambie Sugery Centre, Vancouver. Author of the soon to be released book "My Fight For Canadian Healthcare: A Thirty-Year Battle to Put Patients First." Former president of the Canadian Medical Association.
