Description
Summary:This document raises issues pertaining to medication insurance plans that can have negative effects on health-care spending. We've outlined three important dichotomies related to Quebec's current health insurance plan; a dichotomy which we believe to be at the heart of increased spending in hospital, medical and pharmaceutical care. The increase in the cost of medication funded by the public insurance plan is also discussed. We have outlined research leads and recommendations that may eventually allow reductions in cost for individuals and for the public. [PUB ABSTRACT]
