This article reviews the major developments in Canadian health policy since the mid‐1950s and concludes with an assessment of the relevance and impact of the recent report by the Senate standing committee on social affairs, science and technology (Kirby report) and the report of the Commission on the Future of Health Care in Canada (Romanow report). The author demonstrates that hospital and medical insurance plans and the operation of Canadian federal institutions have had conserving effects on policy and politics in the health sector and that recent reforms such as regionalization of services have consolidated rather than transformed key policy‐relevant relationships. The article concludes that the principles, values and core disputes within the Canadian health policy sector in 2004 closely resemble those of fifty years ago. Sommaire: Le présent article passed en revue les grandes lignes de déloppement dans le domaine de la politique de la santé au Canada depuis le milieu des années 1950. En conclusion, il présente une évaluation de la pertinence et des répercussions du récent rapport du Comité dénatorial permanent des affaires sociales, des sciences et de la technologie (rapport Kirby) et du rapport de la Commission sur l'avenir des soins de santé au Canada (rapport Romanow). L'auteur démontre que les régimes d'assurance santé et hospitalisation et le fonctionnement des institutions fédérales canadiennes ont eu pour effets de préserver les polices et la politique dans le secteur de la santé et que les réformes récentes comme la régionalisation des services ont consolidé plutôt que transformé les relations‐clés propres aux politiques. L'auteur de l'article conclut en faisant remarquer que les principes, les valeurs et les différends fondamentaux au sein du secteur de la politiques de la santé au Canada en 2004 ressemblent étroitement à ceux d'il y a cinquante ans
