- Title
The role of the public on physician remuneration in Canada: the cases of British Columbia and Ontario.

- Abstract
In Canada, publicly funded universal healthcare incorporates many stakeholders including provincial governments, healthcare professionals, and the general public. A recent move to openly disclose the dollar value billed each year by each healthcare provider in Ontario has received divided feedback. While this disclosure holds healthcare professionals accountable for their billing, it provides an exaggerated surrogate measure for their take-home salary. It is important to determine how well the public understands this limited information as public perception, through political pressure, may have important consequences for future determinations of healthcare policy, physician remuneration, and the quality of public healthcare as a whole.
