Description
Documents the causes and effects of changes made in this century to Canada's health care policy, with emphasis on the decades after 1940, the years in which the country moved toward a social model for health care. Explores changing roles of federal, provincial, and municipal government and trends toward health promotion, and argues that leaving health policy decisions in the hands of politicians and bureaucrats has led to poor coordination and management. Proposes a shift from the welfare state model toward a welfare society, with partnership between communities, business, and research organizations.
