Canada’s health-care system compared to other public systems world wide is a let down and the US private system also doesn’t score very well internationally.
.
There are many , many reasons for a start the Doctors and nurses who kill patients, neglect them do not face any negative consequences at all for a start.
.
I have had many American tell me in the US that we have a good Medical system because it is free.. Being free does not insure a good medical care system if Doctors and Nurses are rarely supervised. The public-private Swiss health system comes first.
.
The Canadian system also like the U.S. system does sucks up loads of money all without producing discernibly better outcomes.
.
In most categories, Canada comes between the middle and the bottom – except in spending, where Canada is in the upper third, per capital.
.
It is the politicians crap that Canada having the best Medicare system in the world.
.
” Among 11 countries, Canada ranks last or second-last in getting same- or next-day doctor appointments, finding after-hours care, waiting for more than two months for a specialist appointment or four months for elective surgery.” Getting to see God can be a real nightmare..
.
Canadian patients spend more time in Hospitals per stay, than anywhere else except Japan. Why? There are too few doctors to look after the patients, the medical system relies on interns in training and nurses mostly still for the average patient care. Having more beds will not help .
.
Governments, and Hospitals are working next, now on kicking more people out of hospitals, to get them out more quickly and still not rather insuring they get helped medically.
.
What does the public think of Medicare? You have to firstly get admitted to the hospital to find out you are not getting the best care there possible.
.
When people ask for “fundamental changes,” what do they mean.. They firstly do want the bad doctors and bad nurses, bad hospital administrators, fired, discharged not covered up over and over again..
.
The problem is there is not only a lack of accountabilty, but the money is not properly managed.. Ottawa transfers $32-billion a year to the provinces for health care, but how well is it spent? Many useless medical test are done in hospitals still as well.
.
So “Ottawa spends another $7.2-billion for specialized health care, including $2.5-billion for aboriginals, $1.1-billion for veterans, $571-million for the military and $614-million for the Public Health Agency. Ottawa also spends money to sponsor medical research.” So what? Putting more money in pails full of holes is wasteful..
