A recent CMA-sponsored conference on negotiations brought medical leaders from across Canada to Ottawa in September to hear experts discuss the current health care environment. Among the speakers was Dr. Michael Rachlis, a widely quoted critic of physicians' current role in the health care system. He said physicians and patients currently face major "equity issues," as some patients have a difficult time finding medical help because their serious illnesses are "worth" less to doctors, many of whom prefer to see patients with simple problems that can be dealt with in a few minutes. Several physicians reacted strongly to the criticism.
最近，加拿大医学协会（CMA）主办了一场关于谈判的会议，9月，来自加拿大各地的医学领军人物齐聚渥太华，聆听专家们探讨当前的医疗环境。演讲者之一是迈克尔·拉赫利斯博士，他是一位被广泛引用的、对医生在医疗系统中当前角色提出批评的人。他说，医生和患者目前面临重大的“公平问题”，因为一些患者很难获得医疗帮助，因为他们的重病对医生来说“价值”较低，许多医生更愿意看那些可以在几分钟内处理好的简单问题的患者。几位医生对这一批评反应强烈。
