Overview
Navigating Canada’s Health Care is an indispensable, practical guide to getting the best care available within our existing system. Filled with concrete, up-to-date information and surprising facts, the book follows best-practice health care through the three stages of life:
• The early years (including pregnancy and early childhood).
• The middle year (staying healthy and understanding benefit plans).
• The senior years (managing chronic disease, taking care of aging relatives, palliative care, and end-of-life, supportive care).
It equips Canadians with much-needed information about what the system does and does not provide, arms them with strategies to become better advocates for themselves and for their loved ones, and educates health-care consumers about how they can improve their chances for better health and better care.
Praise
“I would recommend it as a “must read” for anyone who knows…
Although this book was written about 10 years ago, the information it contains is still valid today. I would recommend it as a "must read" for anyone who knows little about the health care system but finds themselves about to be thrust into it either because of their own illness or that of a family member or friend, or because of their own impending senior years. The clear message is that without information and preparation and a strong advocate, you as the user of the system may be in for a lot of distress.”
