The Vancouver Observer reported on a recent conference on health care privatization held at The Fraser Institute in Vancouver, during which Dr. Brian Day's speech, The Madness of Medicare, was resoundingly applauded, and muses on a future in which Day and his fellow private for-profit health care proponents may increase their existing share of the market. The Fraser Institute and other right-wing think-tanks are playing a significant role in this potential future, as prolific producers of analyses and reports with an agenda–an agenda which seems to resonate with the Harper government.
