real issue was the waiting times

Rational Reasons has a good report on the Supreme Court's decision today and what it means and what it does not mean for Medicare in Canada. Rational Reasons and many other good blogs can be found at Progressive Bloggers and My Blahg News.

"So, from this we can see that the real issue was the waiting times for medical service rather than the "right" to private insurance. The court goes on to state that it is within the power of the province to ensure that people have access to healthcare in accordance with the Canada health Act" - Rational Reasons June 9, 2005
