Challenging Healthcare Monopoly: A look at the Implications of Chaoulli v. Quebec for Canada (John Carpay) (~20min) – December 14, 2012
Across Canada, provincial governments make it illegal for taxpayers to use their own after-tax dollars to buy private insurance for essential health services. While private health insurance is legal for vision care and dentistry, it’s illegal when it comes to cancer, heart disease, and debilitating back pain. Any health service deemed to be "essential" is forced into the government’s inefficient and unaccountable monopoly with its painful waiting lists. In Chaoulli v. Quebec, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that "Access to a waiting list is not access to health care." In Chaoulli, six Justices held that the ban on private health insurance violates the Charter section 7 right to life, liberty, and security of the person, but they were divided three-three as to whether the ban was justified. Carpay’s talk will examine the implications of this Supreme Court ruling for healthcare users in the rest of Canada.
