Better Medicine pdf
Description

Donner Prize-winning author Dr. David Gratzer (Code Blue) edits and introduces this collection of twelve essays on health care reform in Canada, advocating an open-minded approach to such concepts as privatization, two-tier health care, and user fees. Gratzer has assembled a stellar list of authors who invite Canadians to question their confidence in government-managed public health. Contributors include Order of Canada member and University of Toronto professor Michael Bliss, who argues that our current problems are the result of increasingly aggressive government measures to control patients and health-care providers. Globe and Mail columnist Margaret Wente offers vignettes that address the day-to-day problems of health care: queue jumping, excessive waits, provider burnout, aging equipment, and the politicization of health administration. And, Vancouver-based health analyst Cynthia Ramsey places Canada’s health care system in an international context. Her findings are unsettling.

Universal Health Care pdf
Description

In place for over a quarter-century, public health insurance remains Canada's most popular social program. Why do 96 percent of Canadians prefer their health care system to the U.S. model? And why do more than 60 percent of Americans agree with them? The answers can be found in the five principles at the core of the Canadian approach. To be eligible for federal funding, provincial governments must ensure that hospital care and medical care in their provinces are universal, accessible, comprehensive, portable, and publicly administered. Universal Health Care examines what these principles mean in practice. It spells out the specific mechanisms used by the provinces to make sure that the entire population receives, without charge at the point of delivery, all the services that the nation's doctors determine to be medically necessary. In the process, this book makes comparisons with the U.S. system, and addresses the concerns raised by U.S. critics of the Canadian approach.

Wasting Away pdf
Description

Wasting Away is a provocative text that examines and assesses the Canadian health care system. This seven-chapter book explores the development of the Canadian health care system and breaks the analysis down into accessible units: who provides (the institutions and the people); who pays (funding sources); and who decides (public, private, and patients). The concluding chapter sums up the winners and losers in this system. A new Introduction by the authors thoroughly updates the subject.
