Quebec Solidaire, local doctors unite against performance-based payment bill
Monday, May 26, 2025, 1:21 pm
Quebec Solidaire and a group of local physicians have joined forces to protest a new performance-based remuneration bill for doctors. Critics warn that the proposed changes could jeopardize care for vulnerable patients, prompting calls for a legislative review to secure a fair and effective healthcare compensation framework.
Selon eux, le projet de loi sur la rémunération des médecins pourrait nuire aux patients vulnérables.
Le responsable de Québec solidaire en matière de santé, Vincent Marissal, et des médecins de famille de l’Est de Montréal demandent au ministre de la Santé Christian Dubé de ne pas adopter sous bâillon le projet de loi 106. Ils redoutent les effets néfastes sur l’accès aux soins pour les patients.
