If you want care in Canada, you'll need more than a health card--you'll need a battle plan. In The Health Guerrilla Handbook, veteran healthcare warriors Michael Decter and Michael McCarthy arm you with the strategies, stories, and tactics to fight for the care you need--before it's too late. Drawing on decades at the policy table and on the frontlines, they reveal how patients have taken on the system and won: from the largest class-action settlement in Canadian history to securing life-saving drugs for rare diseases. Packed with crisis stats, real-world victories, and step-by-step tools, this is your survival manual for cutting wait times, breaking through bureaucracy, and forcing the system to work for you.
