Successive Ontario governments forced to grapple with problem of health care fraud.
Albert Shu of Willowdale, Ont., is the 1995 winner of the Amy Chouinard Memorial Essay Contest. Named in memory of long time CMAJ and Canadian Journal of Surgery contributor Amy Chouinard, the competition is intended to stimulate interest in medical and health-related writing among journalism students. The winning essay, written prior to Ontario's 1995 provincial election, examined health care fraud in the province and the impact of the photo health card that was introduced by the New Democrats party government.
