Summary:
"
Medicare
is arguably Canada'
s
most valued social program. As federally-supported
medicare
enters its second half-century,
Medicare
's
Histories
brings together leading social and health historians to reflect on the
origins
and evolution of
medicare
and the missed
opportunities
characterizing its past and present. Embedding
medicare
in the diverse constituencies that have given it existence and meaning, contributors inquire into the strengths and weaknesses of publicly insured health care and critically examine
medicare
's unfinished role in achieving greater health equity for all people in
Canada
regardless of race, status, gender, class, age, and ability. Fundamental to the stories told in
Medicare
's
Histories
is the essential role played by communities -- of activists, critics, health professionals, First Nations, patients, families, and survivors -- in driving demands for health reform, in identifying particular
omissions
and inequities exacerbated or even created by
medicare
, and in responding to the realities of
medicare
for those who work in and rely on it. Contributors to this volume show how
medicare
has been shaped by politics (in the broadest sense of that word), identities, professional organizations, and social movements in
Canada
and abroad. As COVID lays bare social inequities and the inadequacies of health care delivery and public health, this book shows what was excluded and what was -- and is -- possible in health care."--Publisher.
