POLB50Y3 Chapter : Health Care
Document Summary
Modern reality, all issues discussed by both feds and prov. I agree with 1st argument that prov do have option to make own policies if they"re willing to forfeit fed funding it seems prov. are all that unwilling to allow fed involvement. Birt i would rather get sick in the us than in canada. Us & can must both lower cost of health care, obama"s bill doesn"t address that. Can"s single payer sys was rejected by obama, reps, senate, everyone don"t want politicians to limit what kind of health care ppl can get capacity to innovate, for-profit motivation high technology & r&d. Pro (gratzer): political decisions take priority over patient need in can lack of improvement continued funding even though no improvement in wait times. Can. behind in use of scans, preventive treatment. Many cdns go to us for health care; gov"t sends patients to us due to lack of capacity.
