Abstract

Due to a strike among nurses in the spring of 2008, the existing waiting time guarantee of one month was suspended until June 1, 2009. Regions turned to private hospitals to assist reducing the hump of patients. It has been claimed that the private sector used to be favorably treated by the Liberal-Conservative government because the DRG price paid to them was higher than the actual costs at private hospitals. Now the regions will negotiate lower prices with private hospitals.
