Bryant (health studies, U. of Toronto, Canada) brings together 17 essays on health, illness, and the health care system in Canada (with comparisons to the US and other countries) from a perspective that takes into account the political and economic structures that affect health, as well as human rights, for students and researchers in health studies, nursing, and social policy. Addressing the influence of public policy, the organization and distribution of resources in society, and the organization, quality, accessibility, and delivery of health care, a group of sociologists and others from Canada identify key issues, relate them to current policy environments, and discuss the complex origins of the problems and solutions. They consider access and class, gender, and race; the role played by political ideology and public policy in resource distribution; the history of the Canadian health system; current reform attempts; the effects of privatization; the construction of illness and disability; health policy from the view of pharmaceutical policy and the health system; and public health concerns. Updated, this edition has a new chapter on research methodology; expanded discussions of inequality, women's health, public health, and public policy; more on First Nations health; and a new discussion of the historical development of the Canadian medicare system.
