Abstract

Defining health security as the degree and effectiveness of public policy in providing access to health care as well as income support during times illness and injury, I examine the current state of health security policy in Canada. I deconstruct the relevant health services and income security programmes at both the federal and provincial levels of government, which then allows me to isolate the two most significant policy overlaps: the health benefits overlap between provincial workers' compensation and federal-provincial medicare; and the income replacement overlap between provincial workers' compensation and federal disability pensions.
