Private Clinics vs. Public Interest: The for-profit medical clinic  
industry and its threat to Canadian medicare

Thursday, May 14th 
7:00pm
Rhizome Cafe 
317 East Broadway, Vancouver

The evening will feature a screening of the recent U.S. documentary  
?Our Ailing Health Care? . Produced by a U.S. physician and containing  
interviews with numerous health sector workers and researchers, this  
film exposes how for-profit interests have created the costliest and  
most inequitable health care system in the world.  

Followed by a panel discussion on the growth of for-profit clinics in  
BC and the aggressive campaign being waged by private health care  
investors to undermine medicare and expose Canada to the same problems  
plaguing the U.S. health care system.

Speakers from Canadian Doctors for Medicare and Physicians for a  
National Health Program (U.S.)

Hosted by the BC Health Coalition
