The Problem• Canadians uniformly want a health system thatprovides a broad range of services to rich and pooralike.• We have major problems– Canadian health system is socially irresponsible. It coversa small set of services for rich and poor equally, whileothers including the working poor do not have access tothe full breath of care including expensive drugs.– Workers have few choices when the government healthemployer is irresponsible. No choice between public sectororganizations or between public and private sector– Access problems for rich and poor alike but mainly forthose who are poor, inarticulate and not well connected– Serious problem with health system error
Root Cause of theProblem– <strong>Health</strong> care is an unregulated monopoly notsubject to the same regulatory environment asother industries such as food, automobiles andtransportation. The monopolist is the regulator– Price controls lead to rationing and poor quality• cherry picking for overpriced items such as walk incare,• insufficient supply of more costly services likecomprehensive continuing care
