Hello,
Can anyone direct me to legal scholarship (accessible to non-lawyers)
that addresses the following question?

1. How do exisiting trade agreements (e.g. NAFTA) restrict the right of
the provinces to limit disbursement of Medicare funds to for-profit
organizations offering services of licensed/certified medical
professionals? If a province contracts with one
for-profit medical services provider, does the language of the trade
agreements mandate that they must also contract with all other providers
offering similar services or products at similar prices? Moreover, is the
interpretation of such issues subject to legal debate (given
current agreements and processes)?

Thanks,
