Background

CBC: Top court to hear private health-care challenge. (2003/05/08)
SC Press release: Case heard before Supreme Court (2004/06/08)
NY Times: A challenger to Canada's Health Care (2005/05/22)
Margaret Wente: The dangerous ideas of Dr. Jacques Chaoulli. (2004/06/08)

Bankrolled by his sympathetic in-laws, Dr. Chaoulli has taken a two-year break from medicine to fight the case. He figures he has spent $600,000 of the family's money. Why is he so passionate about this?
"Why? It is because freedom is not a gift, like an apple on the tree. You have to fight for your freedom. If you don't fight, you are not a free man."
So forget all the election noise about the extra billions that politicians are promising to throw at health care. It won't make any difference. What will is what the Supremes make of that dangerous Dr. Chaoulli.
