 Patients the losers in doctor dispute - "The Ontario government is resorting to these bully-boy tactics because it wants to cut spending. And it thinks it can get away with it because “fat cat” doctors don’t garner a lot of public sympathy"

.... As Warren Winkler, the former judge who prepared a conciliator’s report on the dispute, noted, without fundamental system change, the government will not be able to achieve savings, and physicians will not be able to provide adequate care.

That’s a lose-lose, with the ultimate loser being patients.
