Privatization of Health Care Issues in Canada and Albertans Current Battle
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the current issues involved with the privatization of health care in Canada. Canadians have been slowly absorbing more of personal medical costs within the last decade indicating a slow trend toward a private health care system in Canada. As federal funding decreases toward medicare, the provinces have had to pay for more and more of their medical costs especially in the provinces of Ontario and Alberta which currently have the highest costs per capita in medical care. Provincial governments, especially in Alberta, are slowly leaning toward the idea of privatization in order to decrease the burden placed on their government. Citizens and health organizations however, supported by the Canada Health Act are not interested in abandoning the current public system for fear of increased personal costs, decreased public health care and the possibility of a two-tier system resulting. Instead, they would like to see improvements to the current Canadian public health care systems in areas which currently cost Canadian citizens the most in personal health costs such as medications, home care, long-term care, dental care, physiotherapy in addition to more regimented reporting systems from health care centres and the Canadian government.
