Webliography
Compiled by Beatrice A. Orchard, M.A. and Stephen Alsford, M.Phil., M.L.I.S.
The purpose of this Webliography is to identify selected online resources helpful in understanding the origins and history of the publicly-funded and publicly-administered dimension of Canada’s health care services, now known as medicare, together with current issues and perspectives related to the operation and possible future of medicare. The first section of the Webliography focuses on Web sites that incorporate resources directly pertinent to medicare. The second section identifies some key information resources for Canada’s health care system generally. Brief annotations are included where helpful in understanding the type, scope, or pertinence of a resource. This Webliography is not intended to be comprehensive, but effort has been made to include resources representing the diversity of perspectives and opinions related to the current debate on the future of medicare, in terms of the sustainability of government-subsidized health care versus the privatization of medical services. Those interested are encouraged to pursue further research using Web search engines and directories of resources; as well, they should use the site search engines (where available) of Web sites listed below, to search on “medicare” or related subjects.
