BOOK EXPOSES THE MANY FACES OF HEALTH CARE PRIVATIZATION AND ITS IMPACT ON
WOMEN
Exposing Privatization: Women and Health Care Reform in Canada
Newly reprinted, November 2002.
What is happening in Canadian health care reform, and what does it mean for
women? Women are the main providers of care, whether the care is paid or
not, institutional or home-based. Women are also the main recipients of
care, especially among the elderly. Although women are involved in much of
the daily decision-making about health care, they are much less visible
among senior policy-makers and managers. Given that women make up 80 per
cent of health care providers, paid and unpaid, and a majority of patients,
you would expect the question of the impact on women to be at the top of the
agenda. But you would be wrong.
These issues, and more, are addressed in 'Exposing Privatization: Women and
Health Care Reform in Canada' by Pat Armstrong, Carol Amaratunga, Jocelyne
Bernier, Karen Grant, Ann Pederson, Kay Willson (Garamond, November 2002).
