50th Anniversary of Medicare Calendar

The Saskatchewan Office of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives is proud to
present our commemorative 2013 calendar that documents the struggle for universal
medical coverage in Saskatchewan and Canada. With original archival images, trace
the battle for medicare from the creation of Swift Current Health Region No. 1, to
the Hospital Services Plan, to the epic Saskatchewan Doctor’s Strike in the summer
of 1962, to the triumphant passage of National Health Insurance in 1966. Please
consider purchasing this calendar as a way to celebrate Canada’s most important of
social programs.

“We need the CCPA to remind us that our dreams of a decent, egalitarian society are reasonable — indeed that with a little work, they are practical.  And I love that practicality, that protection of the dream of the possible.”
