A small victory

Now, B.C. Health Minister George Abbott has reached a compromise with the False Creek Urgent Care Centre. While it's a plus to know that emergency services will only be provided on a publicly-funded basis, it looks like the equally serious questions surrounding the attached private surgical clinic will go unaddressed - leaving open the question of whether this week's moves are the start of any real action to preserve single-payer health care, or simply an example of how much attention is needed to embarrass the Campbell government into doing anything.
