What is Health Care in Canada (Issues in Canada) about?

Known for her in-depth knowledge and clarity of style, Antonia Maioni wades into the complicated world of health care in Canada and emerges with a concise roadmap of how the different systems work together. Instead of an ideological argument about how things should be, Maioni's unbiased account describes how they actually are. Any Canadian who has ever spent too long in an emergency room or wondered about the costs of new medical technologies will find this both fascinating and essential reading. Maioni condenses years of research and teaching into accessible accounts of key the political history that led to our current organization; the current division of responsibilities between provinces and the federal government; the financing of health care; and the ways our systems contrast with other comparable Western countries. An overview of Canada's political history in health care is a thought-provoking entry into the development of our system over time. With origins in urbanization, postwar medicine, labour unrest, and early liberalism, health care as we now know it is the result of surprisingly hard-fought political battle whose outcomes, Maioni argues, could not have been predicted
