I call it the Land Of Mediocrity although in fairness many other countries are now competing for that title including sadly those of my REAL home Europe.

Hi

Galen Weston owns 1 in 5 Pharmacies in Canada

Ontario pays Pharmacies

$15 per jab

Alberta

$24 per jab

OHIP pays Primary Care Provider $4 per jab (sorry might be 5 yrs out of date)

Also Primary Care Providers have not been getting the amount of Annual Vaccines they order from Public health. Witness the fight by Primary Care for COVID vaccine - see Dr Nili Kaplan Myrth

For at least the past 2 years Annual Influenza doses are distributed to PHARMACIES FIRST Supplies to FPs are late and less. than the number of doses the Fps requested from Public Health

5 Million Canadians have no Family Doctor ( 20yrs ago 1 in 3 of population of Moncton NB had no family Doc)

There is no requirement for Medicare to provide a Primary Care Provider for each person in Canada( Unlike NHS)

There are no defined requirements for access to care in Canada. eg NHS 90% of patients should be seen within 4 hours in A and E (Emerg.) UK citizens know this - GOV.UK info available and easily navigated by anyone. When there are problems Citizens complain loud and long to the Government NOT the Health Care Provider

UK has a representative Union of Physicians - GMC.

Canada has no representative group of Physicians and forming a Union not legal
