What is Healthy Debate?

Our health and the health of our loved ones is more important to us than almost anything else. We all have stories about how our health care system has provided excellent care, and how it has let us down.

Despite the personal and societal importance of health care, it is our belief that many Canadians are less informed about our health care system then they would like to be.

The health care system is so complex that even those of us who work within it often have trouble keeping up with issues outside of our particular sector.

Canadians want to know more about the health care system that they care about. There are currently few places to go for factual, easy to understand information about the health care system.

Healthy Debate attempts to fill this gap by making every effort to provide unbiased information that will lead to thoughtful deliberation and informed opinions.

We hope that accessible information about a wide variety of issues in health care will prove interesting and useful to both the general public and health care workers, and that by creating a forum where patients and professionals can deliberate about the future of the system, that we can work together to make it better.
