Toward a Sustainable Health System: The Changing Economic Paradigm

Martin Hensher

Abstract

Miller and Xie (2020) raise a call to action on creating a sustainable Canadian healthcare system as part of a more just and sustainable economic model. This commentary explores the economic dimensions of this call to action. It provides a brief overview of relevant concepts and insights from emerging schools of economic thinking, and contemplates challenges and opportunities for health system sustainability as the economic consequences of COVID-19 play out in coming years.
