About Canada: About Canada: Health Care (Paperback)

As access to sufficient health care continues to become a dominant--and divisive--issue in the world today, this resource acts as a primer to the public health care system Canada has had in place for the last 30 years. While explaining the program`s cost efficiency and dramatically better health outcomes compared with the United States` private health care system, it also addresses the complexities of the program, as well as the aspects that need improvement--such as wait times and the aging boomer generation. This analysis offers a detailed introduction on how the Canadian system works and assesses reforms currently underway, concluding that expanding Canada`s public health care system, rather than privatizing it, is the best way to improve it.
