The debate over health care spending and its fiscal implications in Canada has been going on for quite a while and there seems to be no end in sight. Three major aspects of this debate may be identified: (a) the concept and measurement of sustainability, (b) health care and fiscal federalism, and (c) health spending as consumption or investment.
