SUMMARY:Webinar: How will Trump’s tariffs affect health care in Canada with Jim Stanford and Angella MacEwen
DESCRIPTION:Canada has a universal public health care system unlike the United States where insurance companies make obscene profits from the sick and injured. How could Trump’s tariffs and counter tariffs harm Medicare, patients and health care workers? How can we protect Canada’s public health care system? What kinds of health care promises should candidates running for federal office be making in the context of the Trump’s trade war?\nJoin economists Jim Stanford and Angella MacEwen for an online discussion on these topics with the Canadian Health Coalition’s Anne Lagacé Dowson on Monday, April 7 at 12:00 PM EST on Zoom.\nRegister for the Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_HcTqcoOZTJyFY5qzHUDsrg#/registration ( https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_HcTqcoOZTJyFY5qzHUDsrg#/registration )\nJim Stanford is one of Canada’s best known economic commentators and the Director of the Centre for Future Work, based in Vancouver.
