What readers and reviewers are saying...
"...Dying to Be Seen is a fascinating study of the social science behind health care; it issues an urgent plea to save Canada’s medical safety net."
- Foreword Clarion Review ★★★★
"Whether you are new to understanding Canada’s Medicare system ,or a seasoned health policy expert or politician , this concise and eminently readable book should be required reading. This is a superbly written and well researched treatise that gives us the history of public health insurance from its beginnings in Saskatchewan led by Tommy Douglas to its enshrinement and centrepiece of our Canadian psyche. It eloquently explains how the progressive defunding of Medicare since the 1990’s has reached the point where our cherished system is on the verge of collapse, ripe for takeover by private for profit medicine , resulting in two tiers ,one for the haves, and one for the have nots. MacNeil , who has extensive experience in the ground zeros of today’s crisis : ER’s and long term care , provides a sensible doable road forward that all stakeholders should read and reread, and more importantly ,act on . Powerful stuff."
- Gerard MacDonald
