Lessons from Quebec on Health Care Reform in the Rest of Canada
Lessons from Quebec on Health Care Reform in the Rest of Canada
About the Webinar
Although it has a universal health care system that must comply with the principles of the Canada Health Act, Quebec has experimented with implementing specific public policies and programs that differ significantly from those of other provinces in several key respects. Yanick Labrie summarizes Quebec’s relatively unique approach to health care in the Canadian landscape in order to show the compatibility and potential benefits of public- private partnerships within the framework of a universal health care system.
