Canada’s health care system is under threat. After years of devastating federal cuts to health care funding, provincial governments are now promoting privatization and “mixed delivery” as the solutions to long waiting times and other problems. Meanwhile, private investors are clamouring to cash in on Canadian health care.
Health care costs are rising around the world, largely due to inflation and the rising cost of pharmaceutical drugs. Wait times are also an issue, largely as a by-product of under funding, doctor shortages, and the lack of a coordinated approach to wait lists.
While these are all challenges within Canada’s health system, studies continue to show that public health care is more efficient, cost effective, and better for patients’ health than any private model. Contrary to what for-profit promoters would have you believe, the Canadian health care “crisis” has been largely overblown, and the solutions to Canada’s health care problems can be achieved within the public system.
Private health care is more expensive, drains resources from the public system, grants privileged access to those who can afford to pay, and puts patients at risk by cutting corners in favour of corporate profits.
PROFIT® is not the cure for Canada’s health care system.
