The Guardian reports [theguardian.com] doctors from Quebec have published an open letter demanding better allocation of public funds.

“We, Quebec doctors, are asking that the salary increases granted to physicians be cancelled and that the resources of the system be better distributed for the good of healthcare workers,” reads the open letter.

It was drafted late last month by Médecins québécois pour le régime public, a group of doctors and medical students who support public healthcare.

So far the letter has attracted some 800 signatures from people with a spine and media attention.
