Dear friends and members,
To mark National Medicare Week, November 18-24, the Canadian Health
Coalition and
the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives are launching a new book entitled
Medicare: Facts, Myths, Problems, Promise. The book is based on
contributions to a
remarkable conference – S.O.S. Medicare 2: Looking Forward. The
conference, held
at the University of Regina, was inspired by Tommy Douglas’ Vision for the
Future
of Medicare and brought together an unprecedented cast of health care
icons: Shirley
Douglas, Monique Begin, and Tom Kent, to Allan Blakeney, Roy Romanow,
Stephen Lewis
and Robert McMurtry, MD. Contributors also include leading health policy
experts,
economists, doctors, nurses and people representing the whole spectrum
health care
providers.
For anyone who cares about the future of Medicare, this book offers a
unique source
of reliable, independent information and analysis. At a time when
ideologues and
advocates of privatization capture much of the attention of the media and
politicians, this collection is an invaluable source of information and
ideas.
Copies of Medicare: Facts, Myths, Problems and Promise are available from
the CCPA
for $29.95 each (plus GST, shipping and handling). Order your copy today at
