On the one hand, up to 30% of the primary care provided by physicians goes largely unremunerated, because it is difficult to fit it into the complex rule scheme of OHIP insurance, yet it is performed for patients mainly out of altruism.
This notion is supported by the Ontario Medical Association which publishes an annual fee schedule that almost doubles the OHIP rates, and reflects a comparable level of remuneration within North America.

Funded by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health and the California Department of Health Services, OHIP has centers at UC San Francisco, under the direction of COEH faculty member Robert Harrison, and at Hunter College in New York, under the direction of David Kotelchuck.
"OHIP fills a unique niche among programs that seek to recruit and train occupational health and safety professionals, because our interns are assigned to work directly with workers," explained Harrison.
"The OHIP internship gave me the opportunity to spend the summer with workers, unions, and community health clinics, learning about workplace hazards in a way that helped me better understand the impacts of certain social conditions—like low wages—on workplace health and safety," said Borden.

 OHIP Taliban Abdul Khadr   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
In addition, the idea that OHIP is obligated to provide care for an individual wounded during the course of fighting in a war in which Canada is currently a participant on the other side is preposterous.
In light of recent suicide bombings in Afghanistan that resulted in the death of a Canadian soldier, a case could even be made for charging Khadr with treason, as presumably he, his brothers and father and the homicide bomber all fought for the same cause.
To propose that OHIP would cover the medical needs of young Abdul Karim Khadr is so far out in left field as to defy any sense of reality.
