Gregory P. Marchildon is Ontario Research Chair in Health Policy and System Design and Professor at the Institute of Health, Policy and Evaluation at the University of Toronto.

Reviews

Holly Doan:

"Making Medicare fills a void [in the history of Canadian medicine]. Contributors in a series of essays recount the Canadian struggle for public health insurance. The result is insightful and surprising – like the story of the "cottage hospitals" of Newfoundland & Labrador."
