Este artigo comenta estudo recente do Fraser Institute sobre a situação do sistema de saúde estatal do Canadá.
Cada vez mais a sociedade canadense paga mais caro e obtém menos atendimento e qualidade.
Uma das razões apontadas é de que é proibido por lei qualquer sistema ou atendimento privado de saúde no sistema de welfare state canadense.
Resumo: social-democracia faz mesmo mal à saúde....
The Heartland Institute - Canada's Medical Nightmare - by Robert J. Cihak, M.D.: "One of the major reasons for this discrepancy is that, unlike the countries in the study that outperformed Canada--Sweden, Japan, Australia, and France, for example--Canada outlaws most private health care.
If the Canadian government says it provides a particular medical service, it is illegal for a Canadian citizen to pay for and obtain that service privately. At the same time, the Canadian government bureaucracy rations medical services. According to another Fraser Institute survey, Waiting Your Turn: Hospital Waiting Lists in Canada (13th edition, October 2003), a Canadian health care patient, on average, must wait 17.7 weeks for hospital treatment. Those who live in Saskatchewan waited an average of 30 weeks, those in Ontario a relatively expeditious 14 weeks."
