Research and fact sheets debunking PROFIT®
There is a long list of evidence-based research that shows PROFIT® is not the cure. For-profit health care is more expensive and it drains the public system of much-needed health care professionals. As they leave to work in a private system, waiting times in the public system will only increase. Research continuously shows that Canadians are far better off with a publicly-funded and publicly-delivered health care system.
PROFIT® is not the cure.
