Authors issue a warning for Canadians

During the covid pandemic virtual home care entered into provincial fee schedules. But, in their just-released book, The Boundaries of Medicare,* authors Katherine Fierlbeck and Gregory P. Marchildon warn Canadians that unless these virtual services are ”… incorporated into Medicare, privately funded (non-Medicare) virtual care services will only grow with time. As such, they will pose the most significant challenge to the basic principles of Canada’s system of single-tier universality.“ p.132 Will our provincial governments do the right thing? *Can be purchased through Fanfare Books, 519 273 1010
