Synopsis

Canada's health care is often referred to as Canada's best-loved social programme. In recent years, however, it has come under attack from a variety of sources. Every jurisdiction in the country has initiated far-ranging reforms aimed at reducing costs and has introduced strategies for lean and mean production in the private sector. This book will examine how most of these reforms fail to address the fundamental problems in the system. This text is aimed at students of sociology and health, health administration, social work and nursing

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

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.
