Book Summary:
Caring for Profit shows how Canada's $77 billion a year health care industry is turning away from its original mandate of providing the best possible medical care to Canadians, and how multinational capital is forcing its way into our non-profit health care system.
In Caring for Profit, Colleen Fuller traces alliances that were struck between private insurers and the medical profession during the 1950s and 1960s to defeat "socialized medicine" -- alliances that survive to this day, and have been strengthened by new forces emerging in an era of globalization.
Caring for Profit is a "who's who" of the key people and corporations making money in Canada's health care sector, as well as a portrait of the strategies and alliances that threaten to replace the principles of medicare with the dictates of the stock market. |
