“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.”

About this Publication
Caring For Profit tells how Canada's $75 billion-a-year health care system is abandoning its mandate to provide the best possible medical care to Canadians and instead turning Medicare over to transnational corporations.
In Caring For Profit, Collen Fuller traces alliances between private insurers and the medical profession and provides a "who's who" of the key people and corporations making money in Canada's health care sector. She exposes the strategies and alliances which threaten to replace the principles of Medicare with the rules of the stock market.
