In the Canadian system doctors are still on the whole private practices. They just bill the government (the "single payer") instead of an insurance company. And they bill based on standardized payment formula decided by the government.

Basically, government funded and regulated doesn't mean government run.

There is no standardized EHR system here, despite provincial governments (which are who runs the systems) wasting millions over the last two decades trying to make that happen.
