AB - This article aims to examine if and how much the Chaoulli decision of 2005 ruled by the Supreme Court of Canada has brought the privatization in health care to Quebec and the rest of Canada. This article adopts a historical comparative method in the sense that it compares Quebec and other providences on several indices representing medical privatization before and after 2005. Such an historical comparative method will enable this article to evaluate the influence of the Chaoulli decision on the privatization in health care, and to analyze the recent trend in medical privatization of the Canadian health care. This article is significantly different from existing researches in the sense that it attempts to demonstrate the degree of the influence of the Chaoulli decision on health care privatization based upon recent empirical data. In addition to the academic contribution, this article has a practical significance in the sense that it shows the recent trend in the expansion of health care market in the universalistic health care system and that it, by emphasizing a passive attitude of the Canadian governments as a main driving force for the medical privatization, provides a useful reference for the reform policy in the national health insurance the Korean government recently tries to initiate.
