 Controlled by the Private Sector  Employees in the Public Sector receive government issued care  45 Million uninsured residents  Citizens in the U.S.A have a very low life expectancy

 Delivered through a publicly funded health care system  Mostly free at point of use  The government ensures that quality of care is kept to federal standards  Expenses for advertising are minimal  The majority of the funding goes towards care

 Canadian Welfare State  When the government plays a significant role in attempting to ensure economic well- being of its residents (Social welfare safety net)  Canada began to spend more on relief programs or social assistances  Critical look at welfare state:  Inefficiencies,abuse, inequities, effectiveness and cost  Worth trading off for health care

 Taxes are required to be paid by each citizen based on many different factors  The Health Care system is almost entirely supported by taxes  Any family that pays their taxes will be eligible for treatments without the fear of having to pay for high and unexpected expenses

 From what you have seen, why or why don’t you believe that Canadians are at an advantage compared to Americans with regards to Health Care?
