Brian Day MRCP (UK), FRCS (Eng), FRCS (C), (born January 29, 1947) is a physician in Canada who was the 2007-2008 president of the Canadian Medical Association. Day is a founding member and 2004 president of the Arthroscopy Association of North America, and he is known nationally for public and legal challenges against the laws that govern the Canadian Medicare system. In 2011, the British Columbia Medical Services Commission conducted an audit of Cambie Surgeries Corporation, where Day is one of 50 shareholders, and found that the clinic, along with another clinic, had charged patients hundreds of thousands of dollars more for health services covered by the Canadian medicare system than is permitted by law. Day and Cambie Surgeries claim that the prohibition against doctors charging patients more for care is unconstitutional. The case is expected to be heard in the British Columbia Supreme Court in late 2015.
