SOCIAL PROGRAMS IN CANADA AND THE U.S.

Social programs are services provided by government and paid for by taxes. EDUCATION HEALTH CARE PENSIONS EMPLOYMENT INSURANCE CHILD PROTECTION SERVICES AFFORDABLE HOUSING INCOME ASSISTANCE

Social programs are meant to promote the well-being of all citizens by reducing economic inequalities.

The decision by a government to provide (or not provide) social programs is based on different economic philosophies and different values. How do the economic philosophies and values of Canada and the U.S. reflect their social programs? “Peace, order and good government” with a mixed economy. “Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” in a market economy.

COMPARISON OF SOCIAL PROGRAMS IN CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES

PENSIONS FOR SENIOR CITIZENS CANADA UNITED STATES At age 65, all citizens who have lived in Canada for at least 10 years, automatically qualify for a pension, paid for by taxes - Old Age Security Act. Seniors generally support themselves through personal savings and pension plans.

INCOME ASSISTANCE CANADA UNITED STATES Citizens unable to meet basic needs receive assistance paid for by taxes from federal and provincial governments. The provinces set critieria for eligibility. The Social Security Act provides funds (from taxes) for those who cannot meet their basic needs. The federal and state governments set criteria for eligibility.

*Medicare and Medicaid HEALTH CARE CANADA UNITED STATES Public Health Care - All citizens receive basic health care paid for by taxes. The Canada Health Act is a federal law that sets out the principles for healthcare in Canada. Private Health Care - Americans pay for health care or health insurance, but it can be expensive. (15% of Americans do not have health insurance) *Medicare and Medicaid Medicare - federal insurance for seniors Medicaid - Social Security Act provides medical care for low income people who meet certain requirements - Many groups of people are covered by Medicaid. Even within these groups, though, certain requirements must be met. These may include your age, whether you are pregnant, disabled, blind, or aged; your income and resources (like bank accounts, real property, or other items that can be sold for cash); and whether you are a U.S. citizen or a lawfully admitted immigrant.
