註釋To the extent that the federal government is interested in seizing the oppor- tunity to replicate in health care the success of the welfare reform of the 1990s, it would need to reform the CHA, remove ambiguity to minimize uncertainty and the potential for politically motivated interpretations of the act, decentralize decision making by encouraging provinces to be less reliant on federal transfer [...] The third section introduces and describes the Canada Health Act, while the fourth section answers the question at the heart of this publication: to what extent is the Canada Health Act a barrier to reform. [...] Delivery of core medical services The question of who pays for the services-an individual, a public insurer, or a pri- vate insurer-is independent of the question of the profit motive of the institution where the service is delivered. [...] The CHA is the third major iteration of acts related to an exercise of the federal spending power in health care, following from the Hospital Insurance and Diagnostic Services Act of 1957, and the Medicare Act of 1966. [...] The remaining sections include discussions of the federal government's purpose and intent, a requirement to report to the federal government and recognize federal support, discussions of how violations of the Act will be handled by the federal government, and a definition of the cash transfer that is governed by the CHA.
