Quebec doctor pay reform bill draws heated criticism from medical experts
Tuesday, May 27, 2025, 5:20 am
Quebec’s proposed reform to link physician compensation with performance has triggered robust pushback among family doctors. Critics warn that the measure risks compromising patient care and could strain an already overburdened healthcare system, sparking urgent debates and protests among the medical community.
François Legault a accusé le parti d’abandonner les patients, mardi.
Christian Dubé affronte le tir groupé des médecins qui s’opposent à ce qu’une partie de leur rémunération soit liée à leur performance. Les visées du gouvernement sont irréalistes, ne tiennent pas compte de la réalité et risquent au contraire de nuire à l’accès, ont-ils pesté.
L’approche de Québec favoriserait selon lui la quantité de consultations au détriment de la qualité des soins prodigués.
Family doctors are furious about Quebec's new legislation that seeks to push them to take on more patients. They fear they'll be forced to cut visits too short.
Des cliniques médicales informent leurs patients que leur accès à un médecin de famille risque d’être « compromis » ou « diminué » si le gouvernement change le mode de rémunération des médecins et le modèle d’accès à la première ligne. Québec soutient que c’est faux.
Une colère jamais vue depuis 50 ans gronde dans le milieu médical. Lier une partie de la rémunération des médecins à leur performance serait tout simplement « dangereux » pour le patient, déplore le Collège des médecins, qui demande à Québec de reculer.
