The Future of Publicly Funded Healthcare in Canada: Do We Need a Private Option?
Canadians love to both brag and complain about our health system. How good is it today in terms of both patient outcomes and customer service? What risks are expected that threaten the sustainability of our system? What opportunities do we need to pursue to ensure that our publicly funded system will be able to serve future generations? This event is part of the Winter 2021 Speaker series.
