However, preserving and sustaining those accomplishments is in doubt, due in part to drivers of population need and change, which cannot be avoided, and in part to, in our view, somewhat misplaced rigidity and misunderstanding about the current situation and options going forward.

Is There a Third Way for Healthcare in Canada? 加拿大的医疗保健还有第三条路吗?

{"title":"Is There a Third Way for Healthcare in Canada?","authors":"Katherine Fierlbeck, Peter Berman","doi":"10.12927/hcpap.2025.27648","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.12927/hcpap.2025.27648","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>The framework for publicly insured healthcare in Canada was established in the middle of the twentieth century with the 1957 <i>Hospital and Diagnostic Services Act</i> and the 1966 <i>Medical Care Act</i>. These statutes were consolidated in 1984 as the <i>Canada Health Act</i> (CHA) (1985). The key provision of this legislation was the stipulation that medically necessary healthcare provided in hospitals, or by physicians, was to be publicly insured. The point was to provide access to medically necessary healthcare independent of the ability to pay. This commentary suggests that the contours of healthcare in Canada have shifted substantially since the development of medicare and that, because of these changes, the CHA (1985) no longer facilitates either accessibility or equity. Owing to the \"deep but narrow\" provision of healthcare services, key aspects of contemporary healthcare (including pharmaceuticals and mental healthcare) are often not publicly insured. At the same time, because of changes in who provides medically necessary care, and where and how it is provided, many Canadians are increasingly able to access these services independently of public insurance. Somewhat paradoxically, the rigid structure of the CHA (1985) has both diminished access to publicly insured healthcare, on the one hand, and has permitted the emergence of two-tier healthcare, on the other. Achieving better access to, and equity in, healthcare provision will require a fundamental rethinking of the nexus between federal funding mechanisms and the regulatory landscape in the provincial/territorial [ PT] domain.</p>","PeriodicalId":101342,"journal":{"name":"HealthcarePapers","volume":"23 1","pages":"8-19"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144755586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While they provide many sensible policy ideas, several critical issues require clarification, particularly the definition of private insurance, the scope of services it would cover and the potential financial impact on low-income populations.
