As for this, I misread your original response.

Provincial governments are the ones that set Health Care policy. This is why the Quebec govermenment chose to make the law they did. The fact is, as I pointed out above, private clinics are not forbidden under Canadian law. The Supreme Court up held this.
Again, the problem is that private clinics are trying to tap into public money. This should not be condoned.
