Exposing Privatization: Women and Health Care Reform in Canada
Edited by Pat Armstrong, Carol Amaratunga, Jocelyne Bernier, Karen
Grant, Ann Pederson and Kay Willson

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 the 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% 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 could be wrong.
