Public health-care provision in the canadian provinces and american states
By: Boychuk, Gerard W.
Material type: ArticlePublisher: 2002Canadian public administration 45, 2, p. 217-238Abstract: While there are broad differences between the health-care systems in Canada and the United States, sub-national variation is significant in both countries (through more notably among american states), both in terms of the role of government in the provision of health-care as well as ouputs of the health-care system such as access and cost-control. Although this variation is rarely considered in comparisons of health-care policy in the two countries, the value of using the United States as a comparative reference in contemporary policy debates in Canada would be considerably greater if such variations were utilized to argument the analytical leverage resulting from such comparisonsItem type | Current location | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
