The Canadian Health Care Guerrilla Handbook: How to Fight for What You Need

If you want care in Canada, you’ll need more than a health card―you’ll need a battle plan.

In The Canadian Health Care Guerrilla Handbook, veteran health care warriors Michael Decter and Michael McCarthy arm you with the strategies, stories, and tactics to fight for the care you need―before it’s too late. Drawing on decades at the policy table and on the front lines, they reveal how patients have taken on the system and won: from the largest class-action settlement in Canadian history to securing life-saving drugs for rare diseases. Packed with crisis stats, real-world victories, and step-by-step tools, this is your survival manual for cutting wait times, breaking through bureaucracy, and forcing the system to work for you.
