| Summary |
"Canadians know just how much is at stake in the health care debate. Do We Care? offers convincing reasons for renewing Canada's commitment to health care and explores innovative means of turning commitment into action. The challenge, both in theory and in practice, involves many different fields, and demands a broad-based, integrated response. Do We Care? examines the major issues that must now be addressed in order to establish a framework for sound decisions compatible with our society's values. Book jacket."--Jacket. |
