Protect Medicare
posted August 23, 2009
The Canadian Health Coalition has mounted a national campaign to protect Medicare from the forces trying to privatise it. The campaign is worth learning about and supporting. Visit the official campaign website.
Women Who Care
posted May 10, 2007
Most women have stories to tell about their experiences of the Canadian
health care system. Nili Kaplan Myrth initiated a project that is collecting
submissions (written work, visual art, photography) for a book on women's
personal and professional experiences of health care. We care about women's health care. The idea behind
this project is to examine what works well and to voice our concerns about what
does not work.
