"Canada's Leading Health Care Professionals" ... the entire panel with the exception of the journalists is made up of physicians. Where is the representation from the rest of the health care team? No one to represent the viewpoint of nurses or the other front-line workers, many of whom have some excellent ideas on how to make the system more efficient and affordable. I am not sure if you are aware of it but university-trained nurses have the highest averages coming into university of any faculty. They are an intelligent bunch. They work for a salary so they have nothing to gain if the system changes and they are given more responsiblity (vs many physicians who work on a fee for service basis). They are a real bargain at $40.00/hr. if the system would just utilize them to their potential.
