Health Care In Canada and The United States

Some Basic Statistics... United States 46.3 Million Uninsured That is Deaths Due to Lack of Insurance In 2008 There Were: Million ER Visits 42.4 Were Injury Related Only 18% of These Were Seen Within 15 min This illustrates the importance of health care and adequate health care insurance in countries like the United States as quite a large majority of the population make visits to the hospital. The United States health care system is ranked 37th by The WHO Weird, considering they are one of the most powerful nations in the world.

Some Basic Statistics... Canada Compared to 45 % in the states and only if you qualify for the program. Canadian program is still not as good as in the U.K. which pays for 82% of citizens health fees. Canadians also live on average 4 years longer 85% have a doctor who they can afford to regularly see All Canadian citizens and permanent residents have access to universal health care insurance

AdvantagesDisadvantages Health care is virtually costless Longer wait times if you are not a priority patient Bring about equality in society Dental and eye care is not covered Relieves families of financial worries Larger taxes Brings about a general well being in society Harder for immigrant doctors (must meet federal standard) Health Care is given to those who need it most first Federal government should help fund medicare Doctors get paid less then in states Possible Solutions: Two Tired Health Care Like In Alberta: Although reducing wait times essential services will eventually become services you can only receive at expensive private practices destroys the equality we try to have in our society System might soon become the corrupt private system in the states as it would put more money in the pockets of private insurance firms Goes against Canadian ideals Funding From Federal Government: Will provide more money to expand hospital and provide more doctors However money would have to be taken from other sectors (military) Many provinces are pushing for the federal government to help out

AdvantagesDisadvantages Great health care for those who can afford it None of these benefits if you don’t have enough money Doctors are well paid and there are plenty of them People become bankrupt receiving essential surgery Short wait time if you have the money A lot of insurance companies have inadequate coverage Health care isn’t paid for through taxes (lower taxes) Insurance companies reject a lot of claims customers are seemingly covered for (capitalism)Many are corrupt Helps further divide the rich from the poor Possible Solutions Medicare Like In Canada (Attempted by Obama): Would help reduce poverty in the states Americans would no longer have to declare bankruptcy because they got an MRI Would straighten out the corrupt insurance companies Although it would solve a lot of the disadvantages a lot of powerful people have a lot invested in this system Conservative ideas mixed with political lobbyists would not let this happen Government Regulated Health Care: Government so far has not made a stand in the corruption of the health care system (thanks to lobbyists) Intervention would help set laws and standards on the basic health care people should be provided and on services insurance companies should provide This would also regulate prices so that everyone can be able to afford crucial insurance Regulation would make sure peopel are not cheated out of their money by not receiving promised health coverage

Questions How do you think the Canadian system could be improved? Would two tier health care be a positive or negative change? How do you think the American system could be improved? Why do you believe these systems are not as advanced as those in European countries? What in your opinion is the best system?
