From the Paper:

"Privatization of Health Care Introduction Privatization of Canada's health care system is about to take place. The Supreme Court of Canada removed the law against private insurance to cover medically necessary services available through the public system. This change "has been received by some as a long-overdue vindication of the right of individuals to timely access to health care, and by others as a life-threatening body blow to medicare" (Editor, CMAJ, 2005, p. 1503). Privatization involves a deep debate. The reason that privatization of health care was chosen is because of increasing pressures in the direction of privatization."
