Winnipeg Sun: NEWS - Grit gives refreshing health-care reality

Winnipeg Sun: NEWS - Grit gives refreshing health-care reality: "Kirby, chairman of a 2002 Senate report on reforming health care, said what really ails Canada's medicare system is that it operates as a monopoly, producing inefficient and over-priced patient services.
His prescription for change is for procedures such as hip replacements and cataract surgeries to be tendered out to a marketplace of health-care providers, usually free-standing clinics that offer greater 'productivity' than large, bureaucratic-heavy hospitals. "
