National Post: "OTTAWA - The Supreme Court of Canada will render judgment tomorrow in a case that could have far-reaching implications for the future of medicare.
At the heart of the controversial case -- heard in court one year ago -- is whether it is unconstitutional to outlaw private health care for patients who can pay.
A Montreal doctor and a patient, who waited almost a year for a hip replacement, argued that waiting lists in the publicly funded system have become so long, they violate the Charter of Rights' guarantee to life, liberty and security of the person."
