Four Solutions to the Family Doctor Shortage in Quebec
The wait to find a family doctor in Quebec is unacceptably long. The MEI proposes four concrete solutions to resolve this problem quickly without breaking the bank. The government should adopt them now.
The effects of governments printing money on our daily lives
When the government constantly prints money to finance its exorbitant spending, the inflation that results affects us all. It’s simple: More money in circulation chasing the same quantity of goods and services leads to rising prices. Inflation is nothing less than a hidden tax. Isn’t it time to think seriously about this problem?
Quebec’s health care system needs fundamental reforms
The amount Quebec spends on health care is alarming. The Department’s budget has gone from $22 billion in 2004 to $45 billion last year. In Quebec, the wait for finding a family doctor is 599 days. In 2019, some 380,000 Quebecers left an ER without having been treated. Are we really getting our money’s worth?
