A different read on Canadian healthcare

While health policy tends to be discussed in hushed,

reverent and pious tones in Canada, the opinions and
commentaries published in The Chronicle of Healthcare
Marketing have, for more than a decade, asked inconvenient
questions, exposed unexamined assumptions, and brashly
pointed out the vague and inconsistent thinking that is too
often part and parcel of the nation’s annual $155-billion
public health expenditure. Taking aim at a wide range of
targets, including sanctimonious politicians, self-important
providers, the dozens of hangers-on who reflexively follow the
carnival from town to town (as well as “whichever mushheaded
jackass it was who told you that universal healthcare
was a sacrosanct subject that no patriot should ever scrutinize”),
Healthcare Babylon is a piquant and pointed examination of the
most vital subject you’ll ever encounter: your family’s health.
