Bill 15: Quebec health-care reform plan draws backlash from stakeholders
Quebec’s sweeping new health-care plan—Bills 15—drew a mixed reaction following its announcement Wednesday.
Several health-care professionals say it’s a massive undertaking—especially for a health minister who initially said he didn’t want reform.
“Big reforms tend to have a very destabilizing effect, and we need a clear implementation plan. [We] can’t be told, ‘do this and figure it out,'” said Natalie Stake-Doucet, past president of the Quebec Nurses Association.
“It has to be clear how this is going to take place, how these changes are going to be made step by step.”
The bill aims to create Santé Québec, an agency…

What Ron DeSantis Has Actually Done to Florida
Mmedia coverage of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s all-but-announced candidacy for president is already in full frenzy, and so far the script is exactly as his handlers would like it to be. The governor regularly opens up new fronts in the culture wars, sowing alarm over critical race theory, transgender rights, or border policies. In response, liberal pundits fell into the trap of accentuating the very issues DeSantis had chosen to fire up his base.
Omitted from the public debate about DeSantis’s policies is almost any discussion of his actual record of governance—what exactly he has delivered to the citizens of…

Alberta has promised $200 million in funding for post-secondary health-care programs as part of its latest budget.
Health Minister Jason Copping said in a news conference Monday at the University of Alberta in Edmonton that the funding would help train an additional 3,400 health-care professionals.
“Our ability to recruit and retain doctors is a top priority for our government,” Copping said. “One of the best ways to do this is to make sure that there are more opportunities for Albertans to train and work closer to where they live.”

Teamsters call off strike at trucking company with KC ties after deal to keep benefits
Teamsters from Yellow Corporation announced Monday that The Central States Health and Welfare fund will extend health care benefits for workers at the trucking company, at least temporarily averting a strike, according to a press release from the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.
Union members had planned to strike starting midnight on Sunday due to the companies’ plans to end health care and retirement benefits for workers and their families.
On Friday, The Star reported a federal judge in Kansas ruled in favor of the Teamsters, saying they had a right to strike as part of their labor dispute.
The Central…
Private equity and creating and fostering a culture of health care compliance
July 20, 2023 – Private equity investment in health care can be lucrative. Yet, health care and private equity can often seem antithetical: One is driven by patient care and compliance while the other is motivated to make a quick profit. To coexist successfully (and profitably), private equity must fully appreciate all the potential compliance risks and requirements of a target health care entity before making an investment and work to implement, overhaul or update a target’s health care compliance programs once acquired.
Our four-part playbook for investors new to the health care sector provides an overview of precautions, a…
