Document Summary
Do this by next week (earlier the better) Purpose: to outline the development and realities of publicly funded universal health insurance in canada. Financial and political arrangements influence how and how well the system works. The canadian health care system is more like a collection of independent provincial systems. Really not a system; collection of 12 provincial systems. Health care expenditures don"t seem to be correlated with outcomes: not always the case of if the more you spend, the better the result. Fed gov"t & series of prov gov"t & municipalities. No $ for hc, can"t get outcome. Legislation passed by fed gov"t (hofc & senate) Hofc sends idea to senate s. 91 and s. 92. If something not written, it automatically fed gov"t responsibility. 2004 first ministers" accord on health care renewal. 10 year agreement btwn feds & prov. Can use $ to get what they want. Certain areas each prov gets to decide on.
