An insider's view of the Canadian system.
There is much to be learned from examination of health care delivery systems of other countries. But the task must be approached with caution. No other system is likely to lend itself to wholescale reproduction in this country, and all are certain to have their own flaws. In this article, based on a presentation at the 1991 ACPE National Conference in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, a Canadian describes his country's system, warts and all, and how it might be made better.
