I would tend to agree. This series of articles seems bent on generally demonizing physicians who provide the fee-for-treatment service that is necessary for many Canadians to preserve their quality of life. I make no excuses for any doctor defrauding the public system and agree they should be prosecuted. This applies to fee-for-service practitioners as well as those who abuse the public system. I do not believe, however, that fraudulent billing is near as widespread as reported here. I suspect if fraudulent billing that is occurring was subjected to closer investigation, some very politically awkward issues would be unearthed that would be quite detached from the fee-for-service controversy.
