Notes

This book traces Saskatchewan’s pioneering role in publicly funded health care from 1915 to 1962. Stuart Houston highlights key firsts—including municipal doctors, universal TB treatment, and North America’s first comprehensive health plan under Tommy Douglas. He credits visionary leaders and a cooperative population for the province’s leadership in innovations like cancer treatment, psychiatry, and hospital insurance, arguing that government responsiveness to public need was central to these advances.
