A Doctor -Lawyer-Gadfly v. Canada's Medical System

"It has been a year since the Canadian Supreme Court heard the case, a rare delay that is raising eyebrows in legal circles. Scholars studying Dr. Chaoulli's challenge say the court is either badly divided or waiting for the appropriate political moment to release a bombshell. They speculate that the justices may agree outright with Dr. Chaoulli (pronounced cha-OOH-li), or are working out instructions to the government to find a way to fix what many agree is an ailing health care network - where doctors are in short supply and patients wait months for diagnostic tests and elective surgeries like cornea transplants and knee replacements."
