Document Summary
The canadian health care model current status and realities. Blue line dollars spent but the problem is inflation (value of the dollar changes over time) Gold line the one we want to talk about, because it takes into account inflation. More living people (increased life expectancy), more dollars that need to be spent on healthcare *good thing* Better at detecting disease, so we are treating more disease and spending more on healthcare *good thing* More research is being done and then actions according to the research are being implemented (e. g. research on concussions have implemented a more strenuous concussion test for football players) *good thing* Not equitable spending among all regions of canada. We cannot accurately compare the per person spending across provinces/territories because. Rural northern territories, do not have the accessibility to healthcare that others do, costs more (ex. getting people to services or getting the services to them)
