Description: "As author Laurel Montrose notes in her introduction "Hockey may be our national sport, but there is little question that Medicare is our national passion and, increasingly, our national concern."

Medicare's legislative scheme is far-reaching and complex. This comprehensive new guide by health law specialist Laurel Montrose has been written to assist lawyers, health care professionals, health policy analysts and patients to better understand the legal structure of the system and how it works.

While the focus of this guide is the legislation of Ontario, Montrose also addresses the Canada Health Act and its operation and includes interprovincial comparators in order to assist the reader in placing Ontario's legislation in a national context. No similar resource exists for any of the Canadian provincial or territorial Medicare systems."--pub. desc.
