I am a member of the Aylmer cooperative. It has 9,000 members. Every year I attend the annual general meeting.
I asked one physician why he worked at the cooperative. He replied that it was because the services he receives from the cooperative allow him to put the emphasis on his medical practice, rather than having to deal with administration, reports, and all of the red tape that involves. He added that he really wanted to practice medicine. So they try to give people the opportunity of putting the emphasis on what they do best: practice medicine.
