Martin's hypocrisy on the healthcare front -- Who is his personal physician?

MPs cry foul; Paul Martin's doctor runs private clinics 07 May 2004, CBC

OTTAWA - Opposition politicians are calling Paul Martin a hypocrite after finding out that his personal physician heads a private health care clinic in Montreal.

Dr. Sheldon Elman is the founder and CEO of the Medisys Health Group. He has been Martin's doctor for 23 years.

Martin says he's never used private health care. In recent months, he has been touting the Liberals as the protectors of medicare while painting the Conservatives as the party that wants to privatize services.

"The hypocrisy of these guys is absolutely breathtaking," said Conservative leader Stephen Harper. [. . . . ]
