Doctors till oppere Bin 94
OMA president writes
TO
The following is a copy of a letter sent on
behalf of the Ontario Medical Association
to the premier of Ontario,
Dear Mr. Peterson,
1ln our meetings last summer and fall we
advised you that the type of legislation
contained in :ill 94 was totally unaccept-
able to the physicians of this province, We
offered compromise solutions to your
perceived problem, but you rebuffed us.
Since the tabling of Bill 94 last December
we have been unswerving in our opposi-
tion. During the. winter and spring we
offered further concessions which would
have solved any perceived problem without
resort to the sledge -hammer of legislation,
Again you rebuffed ue.
As an ultimate protest against Bill 94,
the physicians of Ontario were forced to
withdraw all but emergency services for a
period of more than three weeks. After the
Bill became law, the general withdrawal of
services was terminated.
This does .not mean that physicians
accept Bill 94. Far from it -Indeed, I must
warn you that the repeal of the Health Care
Accessibility Act is the overriding priority
of the Ontario Medical Association.

lit is bad law. lit is unjust to both
physicians and patients. The emigration of
physicians, the dosing of unique clinics
and the cessation of special procedures,
which you have already witnessed, are but
the tip of the iceberg. Your legislation will
cause irreparable harm to the health care
system. All our available resources will be
devoted:to restoring the excellent system
which your government has attacked.
Your offer to negotiate a "physicians'
bill of rights" merely underscores our
contention that the legislation is discrim-
inatory and makes a sham of our civil
liberties. Physicians want to more than the
rights of all other citizens in society,
including those rights abrogated by the
Health Care Accessibility Act.
Sincerely yours,
Richard IL. Railton, M.D.
President.
