Abstract

In this article, Livio Di Matteo provides an overview of expenditures on health care in Canada over the long term. He examines changes in the size, relative importance, growth, and composition of health expenditures, with an additional focus on provincial-territorial government spending since the 1970s. Di Matteo links the evolution of health-care spending to factors affecting the demand for and supply of health services, including income, demographic changes, technological development, cost, policy, and public finances.
