The main feature of the deal was a 2.5 per cent a year increase in overall physician funding. It’s an amount that might, at best, cover the cost of an expanding population and the increase in the cost of running physicians’ offices. It wasn’t going to put more money in doctors’ pockets, just the opposite. The two fee cuts already imposed by the government would have stayed in place and doctors would have to help find an additional $200-million fee reduction. Doctors would also have been responsible for keeping to the government’s arbitrary budget number and could have faced more fee cuts if too many patients used the system.
