Title
Navigating a Course Between Scylla and Charybdis: Quebec Voluntary Hospitals, the Market and the State, 1940 to 1960
Abstract
An examination of the development of hospitalization insurance in the period from 1940 to 1960. The author looks at the debate in Canada over health policy that began during the Second World War, when broad government-funded social programs were being proposed, and concludes her study in 1960 when Quebec became the last province to join the national hospitalization insurance program. The dissertation focuses on two Montreal hospitals – the English-language Montreal General and the French-language Hôpital St-Luc – and the desire of the voluntary hospital boards in each to keep their institutions autonomous from the State, and their incapacity to find adequate and durable financing solutions in the marketplace.
