50th Anniversary of Medicare Crisis - Documentary=20
In the summer of 1962, the Saskatchewan Doctor's Strike brought a bitter =
fight over medicare to a head. The labour dispute was triggered on July =
1st, when Canada's first universal health care plan, the Saskatchewan =
Medical Care Insurance Act, took effect. Doctors walked off the job and =
stayed off for more than three weeks.=20
Patients panicked, worried about who would care for them in an =
emergency. And the provincial government stood its ground, determined to =
make the new law stick. For three weeks that stand-off produced =
protests, fear ... even threats of violence. It wasn't settled until a =
deal called the Saskatoon Agreement was =
<http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/story/2012/07/11/sk-medicare-=
rally-anniversary-1207.html> signed 50 years ago today.=20
Today, we're looking back on that dispute to find out how it has shaped =
the health care we know today. The CBC's Sean Prpick tells the story =
through the eyes of two families who were on opposite sides of the =
issue. Sean's documentary is called Days of Decision.=20
Dr. Noel Doig has just published a new memoir of Sasakatchewan's =
medicare crisis. It's called Setting The Record Straight. =
