Charging patients for access goes against the principles of Canada Health Act, but is symptomatic of the pressures amid the crisis facing family doctors. Sustained investment into family medicine is crucial to ensuring accessible care for patients.
A Calgary clinic informed its clients it would be introducing a "membership-based medical service," running $4,800 a year for a two-parent family membership.
Such arrangements have been growing increasingly common in recent years, experts say.
