A Winnipeg businessman plans to open a private clinic staffed by nurse practitioners. These nurses are not covered by the Canada Health Act, and as such will not violate any laws by providing primary care services to paying clients. Daren Jorgenson, who made his money in the Internet pharmacy business selling cheap Canadian drugs to Americans, expects to open the clinic in Charleswood, a suburb of Winnipeg, this spring. Health Minister Theresa Oswald told CTV the government will not challenge Mr. Jorgenson. “We’re not going to expend energies on going to war with individual proprietors of facilities.” (Canadian Press, Mar. 3; Winnipeg Free Press, Feb. 27)
