About Canada
Most Canadians believe that their health is shaped by luck, genetics, lifestyle choices, and treatment options--and government agencies, public health units, and disease associations all reinforce this perception. This study, however, tells a different story, arguing that it is the social determinants of health, as imposed by the financial markets, that dictate the health of Canadians today. Showing that health care can be greatly improved with simple changes to social policy, the discussion describes the impact of food, housing, employment, education, and social services on the nation`s health.
Wasting Away
Wasting Away examines the logic and results of cost-cutting and privatization. Care providers and patients offer evidence that many of the recent changes have reinforced these problems. The current medical model emphasizes aggressive, curative treatments, while fewer and fewer Canadians enjoy access to good care. Wasting Away is essential reading for Canadians concerned with contemporary - and future - health care.
Canada Health Action: The final report of the National Forum on Health
Presents a volume of a report of a forum held to advise the federal government on innovative ways to improve the health system and the health of Canadians. The forum focused on long-term and systemic issues in four key areas: values, striking a balance, determinants of health, and evidence-based decision-making. The volume begins with a summary assessment of the current health system, the attitudes of Canadians regarding the health system, and deficiencies in health system decision-making. It then sets out priorities for action in three areas: preserving the health system by doing things differently; transforming knowledge about health into action; and using better evidence to make better decisions. Finally, it discusses the mobilization of resources to address those priorities.
