Eugene J. Keefe Memorial Lecture. The Canadian health care system: an overview.
Canada has 21 years of experience with a national health care insurance program. This lecture describes the program, its evolution, financing, and attitudes and perceptions of the consumer, the provider (physicians and hospitals), and the funding agencies (governments). Comparisons, where appropriate, with the system in the United States are incorporated.
