Treating Health Care

Focusing on Canada’s health care system, Raisa B. Deber introduces the reader to the facts and concepts necessary to understand health care policy in Canada and to evaluate how we might want to reform our health care system.

Raisa B. Deber is a professor at the Institute of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation at the University of Toronto.

“Treating Health Care: How the Canadian System Works and How It Could Work Better is frankly excellent. Raisa B. Deber has a crisp, engaging writing style that strips away the adjectives and political hyperbole that muddles so much of the medicare debate.”

Owen Adams, Chief Policy Advisor, Canadian Medical Association:

"Treating Health Care effectively provides a primer in the disciplines of policy analysis and health economics – and examines the Canadian health care system in this context. This is an important volume for university courses on the Canadian health system."

Allan Maslove, School of Public Policy and Administration, Carleton University:

"Deber is a solid and well-respected health care scholar and Treating Health Care shows a deep knowledge of the relevant research literature and a sophisticated understanding of the current issues in Canada’s health care system."
