Abstract
Abstract Health policy cannot be understood simply as a snapshot of static functions and processes. While legislative frameworks within the provincial, territorial, and federal domains shape the way in which healthcare delivery, financing, and regulation are configured, changes in the nature of healthcare itself (the chronic character of modern illness, the greater availability of tests and treatments, the composition of the professional workforce, and so on) interact with this static legislative framework, resulting in a more passive, but still profound, transformation of the healthcare system. This means, rather counterintuitively, any attempt to preserve the healthcare landscape negotiated in 1984 will require decision-makers actively to adjust and modify the existing legislative framework. This chapter describes the building blocks of Canadian health policy (financing, delivery, and regulation), discusses the character of Canadian healthcare federalism (especially with reference to the Canadian Constitution and the Canada Health Act), and examines the way in which healthcare in Canada has been drifting away from its legislative framework (including both “push” and “pull” factors).

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
