Under the new system, which will cost taxpayers at least $708 million over three years, physicians will be paid based on the number of patients seen in a day, the number of patients attached to their practice, the complexity of the patients’ issues, and their office overhead costs.

Research shows that people who do not have a family doctor are more likely to be poor, racialized, have less education, and are less able to advocate for themselves.
