Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is limited...

    Area of Science:

    • Health policy analysis
    • Canadian healthcare system
    • Public health economics

    Background:

    • The Saskatchewan Medicare Act of 1962 introduced extra-billing and health insurance premiums.
    • The Canada Health Act aims to prohibit extra-billing by physicians.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the implications of the Canada Health Act's proposed ban on extra-billing.
    • To evaluate the impact of the legislation on patients and provincial healthcare systems.

    Main Methods:

    • Historical analysis of Canadian healthcare legislation.
    • Policy critique of the Canada Health Act's penalty structure.

    Main Results:

    • The Canada Health Act's penalties disproportionately affect patients, not healthcare providers.
    • The legislation may lead to a regression in patient access and financial protection.

    Conclusions:

    • The Canada Health Act's approach to extra-billing is counterproductive.
    • The current policy risks undermining patient welfare and returning to pre-universal healthcare conditions.
