Canadian Health Coalition

The Canadian Health Coalition is a left-leaning lobby group dedicated to preserving Canada's current Medicare system and to promoting the overall goal and policy of universal public health care. In 2002 and 2003 it was the leading national organization advocating that the Canadian federal government adopt the recommendations of the Romanow Report. Currently the Canadian Health Coalition and its provincial affiliate, the Ontario Health Coalition, have been spearheading a series of public plebiscites in Ontario, Canada over the provincial government's controversial plans to provide hospital services through public-private partnership (P3) rather than traditional public funding.
