Health Care Reform

Health Care Reform
Media commentary stemming from the CTF’s health care report, The Patient, The Condition, The Treatment:

“There’s probably not a politician in Canada who will go within a country mile of suggestions laid out by the CTF to help put the country’s health care system in order. And that’s really too bad, because the system is badly broken … the status quo is not an option. Canadians are ready to embrace change.”
-- Lead editorial, Ottawa Sun, November 2001

“… alternatives to the holy writ of the Canada Health Act are steadily emerging. Some of these views were offered last month in a clear, detailed and well-thought-out study paper from the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.”
-- Brian Kappler, political editor, Montreal Gazette, October 2001

“The CTF released an excellent report on the state of health care in Canada recently. The chapter on the Canada Health Act notes … the act says nothing about what matters most to Canadians in health care:  quality, timeliness and options.”
-- Lead editorial, Edmonton Sun, November 2001
You have the power to change who influences politics in our country: big unions, big corporations and government-funded special interest groups can be challenged by the contributions of thousands of individual taxpayers who care to make a difference.
