It is altogether unsurprising that Dr Day would choose to use his bully pulpit to argue for privatization of medical care in such hyperbolic partisan terms, as he is positioned better than most other physicians to personally benefit from such an arrangement [A healthy constitution. BCMJ 2013;55:70 [9]]. What is surprising is that he and the rest of the BCMJ editorial staff would show such poor judgment in allowing this one-sided editorial to reach print without disclosing his personal financial stake in the matter. I hope that you will rectify this oversight with a correction in the next issue.
