The Politics of Health Care

Because of its nature as both a public institution and a political icon, the Canadian health care system is an inherently political institution which cannot be understood without a clear comprehension of both its composition and its relationship to the broader political landscape in Canada. This class will provide a survey of the political and theoretical debates within the area of health care in Canada, including investigations of federalism, funding, and governance.
