The struggle for medicare in Saskatchewan
An excellent archival video recounting of Tommy Douglas's struggle to implement universal, publicly-funded health insurance in the province of Saskatchewan in the 1950s and 1960s. By 1970, following Saskatchewan's lead, this public health insurance system (Medicare) had been implemented across Canada.
