Health Care in Canada

Paper Summary:

This paper explores the problems currently bedeviling the Canadian health care system. Principally, this paper suggests that the current system is not particularly well-organized, has grown far too expensive, discourages physicians and nurses from staying at home, and is not well-organized. In the final analysis, the writer shows that the system will not get better until a hybrid system embracing both private and public health care is introduced.

From the Paper:

"As Canadians, we like to think that public health care is one of the things that distinguishes us - in a positive sense - from Americans. Sadly, however, the Canadian health care system has experienced great difficulties in recent years. This paper explores some of those problems - among them the enormous cost associated with maintaining the current system, as well as the startling lack of qualified medical personnel in Canada - and suggests that, while the problems are not insurmountable, they do demand that tough decisions be made now and in the future - and that these decisions be resolutely implemented regardless of the political fall-out that may attend their application."
