Description

Discover how universal health coverage emerged from Depression-era Canada through this comprehensive history of Medicare's origins. Tommy Douglas and the Quest for Medicare in Canada examines the life and political career of Canadian politician Tommy Douglas, tracing the pivotal moments and decisions that transformed a poverty-stricken province into a model for national healthcare. Explore the connections between Saskatchewan's groundbreaking 1930s initiatives and the universal standards that eventually shaped Medicare across all of Canada. This University of Toronto Press publication answers fundamental questions about why healthcare reform succeeded early in one province and how its design became the template for Canada's entire medical system, offering readers insight into one of the country's most significant social achievements.
