Ce texte examine l'origine du projet de loi fédéral‐provincial no. c‐227 sur l'assurancemaladie au Canada. L'auteur affirme qu'il existe très peu d'évidence pour appuyer l'hypothèse selon laquelle ce projet de loi aurait été conçu principalement à cause du nombre important des conflits de classe. Les racines structurelles de la législation sont discutées et l'auteur suggére que l'Etat a réagi à des problèmes identifiés dans le secteur de la Santé Publique. En essayant de rationaliser la planification et la disponibilité des soins médicaux, l'Etat a agi dans les intérêts à long terme de la classe capitaliste, en cherchant à augmenter la capacité de production dans la classe ouvrière et à diminuer les coûts de maladie. This paper examines the origins of federal‐provincial insurance for physician care in Canada (Bill c‐277). It is argued that there is little evidence to suggest that it was primarily a response to high levels of class conflict. The structural roots of the legislation are discussed and it is proposed that the state was responding to problems identified within the health sector. In attempting to rationalize the organization and delivery of health care, the state was acting in the long‐term interests of the capitalist class by seeking to increase the productive capacity of labour and reduce the economic costs of illness
