Just like with any innovation, there is nothing new under the sun.
Let's look at the evolution. Quebec now has about 50 health co-ops. The first one of this new generation was founded in 1996. In 10 years, 50 or so were created.
There are also 46 home care co-ops in Quebec. In those cases, health care professionals go to people's houses.
Let me just add that co-ops have a significant international presence. In Japan, millions of people are co-op members. The same goes for Brazil. In Canada, this started with the Coopérative de services de santé de Québec, among others. There were also some in Saskatchewan when Tommy Douglas was around. Saskatchewan has four health co-ops. In Winnipeg, Manitoba, in Ontario, in Nova Scotia and in New Brunswick, there is one telehealth co-op. In total, Canada currently has 120 primary health care co-ops.
