Open access to individual "featured articles"

In an article in the Globe & Mail (Wed. Dec. 10, page A13, by Christine Boyd), entitled New health council to stay above the fray, leader says, it's noted that the head of the new health council in Canada, Michael Decter, has "laid out a wide-ranging blueprint for the watchdog agency in a recent article in the periodical Hospital Quarterly ...". This particular article in Hospital Quarterly (Vol. 6, No. 4) is openly accessible, and is entitled: The Health Council of Canada: A Speculation on a Constructive Agenda. [I wonder how many journals now routinely provide open access to individual "featured articles"? Another health care policy journal that does this is Milbank Quarterly].
