title: Public skepticism in Canadian healthcare: the real cause of inertia in the system?
abstract: Although Canada has not examined issue related to public trust in as much depth as the United States, we can assume that despite improvements in life expectancy, quality of life and infant mortality rates during the past 30 years, Canadians perceive their healthcare to have deteriorated over the last two decades. Should we worry about this phenomenon, and can anything be done about it?
