CAQ unveils Santé Québec, the new agency in charge of fixing the province’s health-care system
François Legault’s government is banking on a new provincial agency to fix its battered health-care system, and it’s called Santé Québec.
The creation of Santé Québec is the foundational piece of Bill 15, which Health Minister Christian Dubé tabled at the National Assembly on Wednesday.
If it becomes law, Santé Québec will oversee all activities related to the public health-care system, including providing services and facilitating access.

Santé Québec would also help organize elements of the private sector.

National Doctors’ Day is celebrated every…
Veto puts Kentucky in thick of fight over transgender rights
FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear’s veto of a bill aimed at transgender health care puts the state in the middle of a national fight, but with more immediate consequences as the state’s looming election offers an early test on the state-by-state assault on gender-affirming care for minors.
The veto issued Friday set off competing messages likely to be repeated until the November election — when Bluegrass State voters will decide whether to reward the Democratic governor with a second term or hand over the governor’s office to a Republican. No one seems to know yet how much…

Opinion: Will a crackdown on private telemedicine improve health care access? The jury is out
Federal Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos said on Friday that Ottawa was clawing back $82.5-million from health transfers to the provinces for allowing for-profit companies to charge for medically necessary health services, mostly diagnostic services such as MRIs and CT scans.
More importantly, the minister served notice that, going forward, there would also be a crackdown on private companies offering telehealth services.
“It is critical that access to medically necessary services, whether provided in person or virtually, remains based on medical need and free of charge,” Mr. Duclos told reporters.
The key word in that sentence is “access” and it was…
