Subject: Fix the Family Doctor Crisis
Family doctors are the backbone of Canada’s health care system, yet they’re being undervalued and underpaid. This outdated pay structure is driving doctors out of provinces, out of practice, or out of the country—leaving communities without the care they desperately need.
We need action now:
Pay Fairly: Ensure family physicians are compensated at competitive national levels.
Support More Than Pay: Provide benefits, reduce administrative burdens, and fairly compensate for on-call work.
Get Transparent: Publish clear payment data to hold the system accountable.
The longer we wait, the worse the crisis becomes. Fair compensation isn’t just about attracting talent—it’s about showing the doctors who care for us that we care about them. Let’s stop the brain drain and keep our health care system strong.
I urge you to prioritize this issue now.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
