A Survival Guide For You
and Your Love Ones
COMING MAY 2026
About the Author
Michael Decter never had a chance of escaping his fate to become a storyteller. His Irish mother, Una, was an excellent storyteller. His Russian Jewish father, Percy, was also a wonderful teller of tales.
In the preface to his storytelling destiny, Michael has managed three careers – one in Government, one in Consulting and one in Finance. He has also served on many governance boards in the health and cultural sectors. Along the way, he has written and published eight non-fiction books, several including storytelling within a factual narrative.
Michael's latest book, The Canadian Health Care Guerrilla Handbook, co-written with Mike McCarthy, publishes in May 2026 with Sutherland House. It's now available for pre-order.
About The Book
The Canadian Health Care Guerrilla Handbook: How to Fight for What You Need is designed to arm Canadians with the strategies, stories, and tactics to fight for the care you and your loved ones need. The book reveals how patients have taken on the system and won: from the largest class-action settlement in Canadian history to securing life-saving drugs for rare diseases. This book is a survival manual for how the system works and step-by-step tools to navigate it. (With some recommendations for policy makers and a resource guide at the end.)
