Yes, but also narcissistic personality disorder.

Editorial boards are supposed to be independent of ownership. Granted, that often isn’t the case, but that doesn’t make it OK.

So… their house was sinking?

True, but that was literally a hundred years ago.

“These are horrible, terrible companies that are corrupting society, and we trust them completely.”

I don’t think the CMA has much power over this. Medical school and residency spots are controlled by provincial governments, and even the provincial medical associations exist at the will of provincial governments. I’m not saying you’re wrong that this might be the CRA’stake, but I don’t see much of a causal relationship there.

Much more immediate, I think, is the unwillingness of (more or less conservative, and as you point out, neoliberal) governments to fund medical schools and residencies because the impact on voters would take almost a decade, which is much longer than an election cycle.

I hate how these articles always dance around the main issue. Yes, team-based care is great. But what we really need is to urgently train thousands of family doctors and nurse practitioners. We have a massive shortage and it’s only getting worse. But nobody wants to pay for it, and even lefty outlets like The Walrus aren’t calling for urgent funding. I dread what this is going to look like in ten years.
