Privatization of Canadian Health Care

Paper Summary:

This paper presents the argument that the best health care system for Canada would be a mixed system - with both private or public features. The paper examines pros and cons of both the public and the private health care systems in order to determine their best features.

From the Paper:

"Canada's health-care system ranks among the best in the world but it falls far behind most European and Middle East nations because of the financial burden it imposes on users. Because Canadians have to pay so much taxes, Canada rates only 30th place in the first international analysis of health care in the world's 191 countries.1 It is often argued that Canada should drop the public health system and follow in the US' footsteps by privatizing its health care system, but the US's health care system is arguably flawed with almost 15 per cent of its population lacking any type of health insurance and is ranked only in 37th place in the international analyses of health care in the world.2 "
