Canadian Public Health System Creaks Slowly Toward Implosion
Yet another major story, this one in the Times, about the overwhelming move in Canada toward privatization, not only because of the huge increases in wait time for critical services and primary care, but also because of the "success" of the private endeavors in Canada, which are doing so well that the president of Canada's leading private hospital looks forward to the day when he will be able to open a full-service private hospital with its own private medical school.contribute a comment

The only answer I can think of is a blend of public/private. A core policy paying limited benefits and catastrophic costs would be national. The rest, private. Permit high deductibles to prevent over utilization. Permit medical savings accounts. Permit national coverage by private carriers instead of state by state. Etc.
