Quebec Minister of Health and Social Services Philippe Couillard, rejected key recommendations of the Casonguay task force on the financing of the province's health care system.

The Castonguay report expresses a serious concern of public health care expenditures, that is growing faster than government revenues.

The controversial proposals include:

* the introduction of a health tax;

* greater freedom for physicians to bill privately;

* the freedom to operate a mixed medical practice within certain limits;

* allow to purchase private health insurance that would enable them to seek speedy treatment for the full range of services covered by medicare.
