The U.S. government spent 783 billion U.S. dollars in 2006, Medicare and Medicaid. But if universal health care in this country, it would probably go well over a trillion dollars. And taxes will probably increase. Americans want affordable healthcare or a universal system of health care. This is a great debate during the presidential election. But did you know that the American system of free markets, development of new drugs and techniques generated because the system offersIncentives for innovation and efficiency? Note that in the context of our current health care system, you can go to the doctor every time you want to know, no tail? Well, this is not the case in Canada. Here are some criticisms of health care:
57% of Canadians reported waiting 4 weeks or more of a specialist, 24% of Canadians waited 4 hours or more in the emergency room.
A March 2, 2004 article in the Canadian Medical Association Journal noted, was "under SaskatchewanFire with the longest waiting times in the country for a diagnostic MRI - a huge 22 months. "
A February 28, 2006 article in The New York Times quoted Dr. Brian Day as saying: "This is a country where dogs can be a hip replacement in less than a week, where people wait two or three years can get. "
Canada shortage of doctors is causing problems. At 2.2 doctors per thousand population, Canada is well below the OECD average of 3.0, although the 10 nursingRante slightly above the OECD average of 8.6. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) is an international organization of thirty countries that accept the principles of representative democracy and free market economy.
Doctors in Italy are an average of $ 202,000 per year (2006), before expenses. Alberta has the highest average salary of about 230,000 $, while Quebec has the lowest average annual salary of 165,000 $, the creation of inter-provincial competition forDoctors and contribute to the lack of premises.
In 1991, the Ontario Medical Association agreed to a province-wide closed shop, that the Union OMA a monopoly. Critics argue that this measure is limited supply of doctors to guarantee the income of their members.
According to an article of 2007, the Canadian medical profession is suffering from a brain drain. The article states: "One in nine doctors trained in Canada is the practice of medicine in the United States. If the Canadian educatedDoctors who are excluded Born in the USA, is the number one in 12.
A February 28, 2006 article in The New York Times stated, "accepting money from patients for operations that are otherwise receive free in a public hospital is technically prohibited in this country, even in cases where patients would wait months or also take years of treatment ... Canada is the only industrialized country that prohibits the purchase of privately funded practitionersServices. "
In 2006, a Canadian judge has threatened to close a private hospital because he had planned from the beginning to accept private payments from patients. According to The New York Times, clinics, even if privately funded are illegal in Italy, many clinics are opening in every case, because patients do not like long waiting lists in the system of government.
In an interview in 2007, ABC News, Professor Regina Herzlinger from Harvard Business School, said: "Many hospitals across Canadaillegal for profit ... They know that they do not need medical care, legal system, so that in creating an illegal system that gives them what they need to be accomplices. "
It seems that they still have a lot of work. If you live in Canada and read this article would let me know if something has changed or become better, I love the feedback.
