Adapting to adversity, protecting the principles, resisting reactionary "reforms" : Canada's health care system in the 1990s Evans, Robert G., 1942-

Abstract

The description of "Reform" in the Canadian health care system could be made very short. There has not been any reform. There has been no change in the fundamental principles and basic structural features of organization and finance of health care, since the system reached its modern form between 1968 and 1971. That system has evolved over subsequent decades, and has adapted more or less successfully both to significant changes in the external environment, and to changing needs and possibilities for health care services themselves. But it remains easily recognizable as the same system that was established a quarter-century ago.
