Students from every medical school in Quebec held a protest against Bill 20 on Monday in front of the National Assembly. <\/p>\n
Early Monday morning students met at McGill University, L'Universit de Montreal, the University of Sherbrooke and Laval University are united against the proposed changes to healthcare. <\/p>\n
Medical students have said they are not walking out to support the so-called austerity protests being held by students at other universities and CEGEPS, but are solely concerned with Bill 20. <\/p>\n
They argue that forcing family doctors to have quotas would have a negative effect on care, and encourage doctors to give patients ever-decreasing amounts of time. <\/p>\n
Nebras Warsi, president of the McGill Student Society of Medical Students, said students object to the heavy-handed nature of the changes. <\/p>\n
\"This bill arrived without any major consultation,\" said Warsi. <\/p>\n
\"This bill is basically distracting away from real, measured healthcare reform.\" <\/p>\n
He added that many medical students think the unintended consequences of Bill 20 could be Quebecers having fewer family doctors. <\/p>\n
\"People are worried they're going to be forced to leave, or be forced to leave family practice,\" said Warsi. <\/p>\n
