Resumen

El sistema de salud de Canadá ha ganado gran apoyo en el país, pero al mismo tiempo ha desa­tado un gran debate respecto a sus principales retos y sustentabilidad. Este artículo pondera tanto los aspectos positivos como los negativos del sistema de salud conocido como Medicare. Consta de tres secciones: la primera presenta un marco teórico basado en la economía política del sistema de salud y un contexto histórico en el que se presentan los orígenes de Medicare; la segunda parte evalúa sus principales logros, y la tercera analiza los principales retos que en­frenta el sistema. Para terminar se presentan conclusiones y perspectivas.
