加拿大的医疗保健研究了加拿大医疗保健系统所面临的挑战，这是一个备受公众争论的话题。在这本书中，凯瑟琳·菲尔贝克深入讨论了政治如何影响医疗保健决策，以及为什么在如何修复该系统方面存在如此多的分歧。许多加拿大人将医疗保健视为民族自豪感的源泉。其他人则对该制度的缺陷提出严厉批评，并呼吁进行重大改革。然而，如果不了解系统的实际运作方式，就不可能发生有意义的辩论。在这篇概述中，菲尔贝克概述了医疗保健系统的基本框架，涉及行政和治理、公共卫生、人力资源、药物和药物政策以及心理健康等具体领域。她还讨论了英国、美国和法国等其他国家的替代模式。随着医疗保健变得越来越复杂，加拿大人充分掌握政策和政治环境中的主要问题至关重要。 《加拿大医疗保健》对主要政治和理论辩论进行了平衡且易于理解的评估，对于与加拿大医疗系统有利害关系的任何人来说都是一本重要的指南。
Health Care in Canada examines the challenges faced by the Canadian health care system, a subject of much public debate. In this book Katherine Fierlbeck provides an in-depth discussion of how health care decisions are shaped by politics and why there is so much disagreement over how to fix the system. Many Canadians point to health care as a source of national pride; others are highly critical of the system's shortcomings and call for major reform. Yet meaningful debate cannot occur without an understanding of how the system actually operates. In this overview, Fierlbeck outlines the basic framework of the health care system with reference to specific areas such as administration and governance, public health, human resources, drugs and drug policy, and mental health. She also discusses alternative models in other countries such as Britain, the United States, and France. As health care becomes increasingly complex, it is crucial that Canadians have a solid grasp of the main issues within both the policy and political environments. With its balanced and accessible assessment of the main political and theoretical debates, Health Care in Canada is an essential guide for anyone with a stake in Canada's health system.
