Text of introduction by Joseph Planta:

I am Planta: On the Line, in Vancouver, British Columbia, at TheCommentary.ca.

The discussion over Canada’s health care system continues as a new book looks at the necessary reforms to not only be feasible today, but in the future. And if the necessary prescriptions aren’t taken, what will become of the health of Canadians. Stephen Skyvington joins me now. He has written a new book This May Hurt a Bit: Reinventing Canada’s Health Care System. The book looks at what universality really means, just how portable the system is for a Canadian who moves from one province to another, what interest groups and organisations are preventing not only reform, but any serious discussion. I’ll also ask Mr. Skyvington about whether the future of health care will be an issue in the fall federal election campaign. Stephen Skyvington is a regular commentator on health care policy, and the founder and president of the public relations firm Politrain. He joined me from Coburg, Ontario last week. The book is published by Dundurn. Please welcome to the Planta: On the Line program, Stephen Skyvington; Mr. Skyvington, good morning.
