Abstract
Canadian governments received a pleasant surprise this year: expenditure growth on public health care in Canada finally appears to be slowing. What's unclear is if this slowdown is the result of provincial success in sustainably bending the cost-curve, or more short-term cost-cutting in response to slower economic growth or future federal health transfers.
