Abstract
This paper addresses the State of health policy in relation to aging in Canada. A narrowness of the disciplinary focus of current policy analysis is criticized, and an approach based on “healthy public policy” is described and advocated. Current policy analysis is too often couched within a rhetoric of demographie crisis; it focuses too much on economies rather than social issues, and it focuses on the sick elderly instead of the well elderly. If the development and implementation of efficient and effective health and aging policies are to become a reality, organizational and institutional barriers must be overcome.
