    Extractions: Canadian Medicine: Doctors and Discoveries Part III The Nature of Health Care Delivery What medical services are available to a society? How does one secure such medical services and/or treatments? Who pays for this? The system in which health care is delivered affects how medicine is practiced and how the sick are treated in any country. Throughout history, doctors and patients have negotiated and shaped the delivery of medical care. In Canada, it was a politician from Western Canada, Thomas C. "Tommy" Douglas, who led the movement towards universal health care, a government-sponsored system that ensured open and equal access to medical services for all Canadians. Thomas C. Douglas: "The Father of Canadian Health Care" Thomas C. Douglas (1904-1986) was not a doctor; he was a politician from Saskatchewan. His contribution to Canadian medicine was not due to a medical skill or great discovery, but as "the father of Canadian health care." He introduced socialized medicine (state-sponsored and salaried-physician medical care) to the province of Saskatchewan during his 44-year political career. Douglas envisioned and worked towards a universal system of health care that moved beyond provincial to national enactment, and today has become the envy of most countries in the world. Douglas entered politics in the 1930s in Saskatchewan as a member of the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation (CCF), the

    http://www.enterstageright.com/archive/articles/0996medicine.htm
    
    Extractions: web posted September 1996 That being so, does the government have the right to mandate what a doctor will charge for their services? The answer, in a free society, is no. Under the current Canadian Medicare system, doctors do not have the right to charge their own rates based on market conditions and their own ability. The government effectively decides how the Medicare system will be run and who gets access to it. Doctors do not have the right to open private clinics even if they choose to opt out (which cannot be done) out of the system. The argument used often enough in support of Medicare is that the average person cannot afford health care without a collectivist program. This is complete balderdash. Who is paying for health care now? The average person. If the current load of social programs were to be cut completely, as would be morally proper, the average person could pay for their own health care or purchase what level of insurance they wished to cover health costs. The second problem with Medicare is the very coercive nature of the program. If one does not wish to be a part of the Medicare system, one has no recourse. Your taxes pay for the institutional slavery of doctors and patients whether you support it or not. At the barrel of a proverbial gun you are told that you must be a part of Medicare because it is good for you and society.

    Extractions: web posted April 24, 2000 Hospital food is rarely mistaken for gourmet cuisine anywhere, but at least in Michigan it is not an issue over which major political campaigns are waged. In Canada, however, it isand the lesson it provides for American health care is profound. Last fall, a colleague of mine visited the Canadian province of Manitoba. With just a few days left before the elections, political campaigning there was at a fever pitch. My friend was astonished to observe that the dominant issue was indeed hospital food. The patients of Manitoba's hospitals had complained for months about the introduction of "re-thermalized food"cut-rate meals prepared 1,300 miles away in Toronto, then frozen and shipped to Manitoba where they are nuked in microwaves and served. Peter Holle, president of the Frontier Centre for Public Policy in Winnipeg, explained that re-heating meals was a cost-saving "innovation" of government bureaucrats employed by regional health authorities. "Never mind that they taste like cardboard," says Holle. "Never mind that individual tastes and circumstances might dictate decentralized food services. Re-heated meals became a symbol of efficiency for the supposedly compassionate do-gooders in government. Why pay hundreds of workers in dozens of Manitoba kitchens when we can just zap up frozen dinners from Toronto?" As it turned out, the incumbent government in Manitoba and many of its supporters went down to defeat. Vile victuals were a key reason.

    For example, in 1989 the average American spent about 40 percent moreon health care than his canadian counterpart $2,354 versus $1,683.  
    http://www.amatecon.com/etext/dosm/dosm-ch03.html
    
    Extractions: Concerned about rising costs and the number of Americans without medical insurance, nearly everyone is worried these days about health care. Not a day goes by without a presidential candidate or a magazine calling for something drastic to be done. Each advocate maintains that his plan will bring skyrocketing costs under control, make health care accessible to low-income people, and bring health insurance within the reach of the 34 million Americans who currently do without it. There is a real alternative—a solution that relies on competition in the open marketplace. That solution recognizes that the undesirable aspects of the current system are not the result of the free market, but rather are the outcome of decades of governmental intervention in the health-care industry. Elimination of that intervention would shift power and responsibility from impersonal bureaucracies to consumers. The resulting free market, characterized by prudent consumers spending their own money, would control costs and let the American people have the kind of medical care they want. Those who call for greater governmental involvement are fond of comparing how much Americans spend on health care with how much is spent in other countries. For example, in 1989 the average American spent about 40 percent more on health care than his Canadian counterpart: $2,354 versus $1,683. The West Germans, French, Japanese, and Britons spent even less. The 12 percent of gross domestic product that the United States devoted to health care in 1991 ($650 billion) is double the portion so devoted in Great Britain. By the year 2000, total spending is expected to reach $1 trillion or 15 percent of gross domestic product. Costs are increasing at 15 percent a year, much more than the general rate of price increases. The cost of employer-provided medical insurance increased 21.6 percent from 1989 to 1990.

    http://www.ncpa.org/health/pdh36b.html
    
    Extractions: To hold down skyrocketing costs and still comply with mandates of the Canadian Health Care Act which requires universal health coverage from the government the province of Ontario passed a so-called Savings and Restructuring Act earlier this year. It attempts to attack the problem of out-of-control costs by rationing and price controls. In June 1995, after four years of socialist rule during which the provincial government's debt load doubled Ontarians elected a conservative government which drastically reduced spending. In January, Ontario passed the Savings and Restructuring Act. Although aimed at cutting costs it has had these results: Ontario physicians have become civil servants although without pensions or unemployment insurance.

    http://www.ncpa.org/iss/hea/2002/pd090302b.html
    
    Extractions: Despite spending more money per capita than any other country with a similar system, Canadian health care ranks on a par with that of Turkey, Hungary and Poland. Canada ranks 18th in access to MRIs, 17th in access to CT scanners, eighth in access to radiation machines and 13th in access to lithotripters, which are used for treating kidney stones. Canadians do somewhat better in terms of health-treatment outcomes but that is due in part to their option to come to the U.S. for services that would be unavailable or dangerously delayed at home. All of the countries that beat Canada in outcomes have parallel systems of private health insurance and care delivery operating alongside the government system.

The harrowing and dangerous experiences this explorer and his men went through are almost beyond belief. This paper gives an assessment of Simon Fraser, his character, and evidence supporting this viewpoint. Also discussed is how this event would be told from the point of view of a Native American. The conclusion drawn from these assessments gives us a true look at whether history is an accurate study or simply an inference biased by point of view. This draws some interesting and challenging questions on the subject of teaching history. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

37. Report From The States: Washington State Battles Socialized Medicine --- Again
    Washington State Battles socialized medicine Again. as long as the governmentadmits and come to US border towns either under canadian government contract  
    http://www.haciendapub.com/report2.html
    
    Extractions: Describing what is currently happening in Washington State can be categorized as the good, the bad, and the ugly. First the not so good news: If you're in a state bordering with our neighbors to the north it doesn't take much effort to determine that the single payer (Medicare) system of Canada is faltering in a number of areas. Physicians are leaving Canada in droves and settling in many northern locations like Bellingham, Washington. Patients can escape the clutches of the statist system where waiting lists are typically twice as long as the government admits and come to U.S. border towns either under Canadian government contract or the totally private system of our fee-for-service model. Yet with the plethora of examples indicating how stifling the Canadian medical system is, there are a growing number of physicians here in Washington State who want to import that same system. The group sponsoring the initiative to turn all Washingtonians into the same medical slaves as those in all of Canada were at the recent Washington State Medical Association (WSMA) House of Delegates meeting held in Spokane. There they argued for their effort to create the utopian government model of the ages, giving not only all private insurance monies to an "accountable TRUST" but also all public monies as well, including Medicaid and Medicare, thus requiring fundamental changes in both state and federal legislation before their system can be implemented. Thankfully, arguments against their initiative abounded. But they haven't disappeared. They will merely regroup and resurface in time to put their initiative out and try to have it placed on the November 2000 ballot. Can you imagine the entire

Durante's home page: index.html Salvatore J. Durante's publications: Publications.html "National Health Care: Prescription for a Fool's Paradise" The Freeman, April 1991; reprinted in Prices and Price Controls, in the series The Freeman Classics, 1992. Suppose I promise you health-care like you've never had before. When you visit a doctor or a hospital, all you'll have to do is show a card, and someone else will foot the bill. You'll never have to fill out another insurance form or wait for another reimbursement to come in. And, I promise, you'll get the same quality of care you get now, and won't have to pay more taxes for it. Would you vote for me? Most people would. Would you get what I promised? No, because it's impossible to deliver. This is the promise of those who advocate "national health-care" or "universal health insurance" (on either the state or national level). In either case, what is involved is extensive or complete government control of health-care: control of who pays for services, who provides them, and who receives them. We have, before our eyes, an example of a very similar system that has been operating now for 26 years: Medicare. We aim to demonstrate here, by a detailed look at Medicare, that such government interference in health-care is harmful from the first to buyers and providers of health-care, and in the long run is disastrous. Government medicine, on the national or the state level, is a prescription for a fool's paradise.

Although I will grant that free markets can lead to fair prices, this argument has an assumption of educated consumers and honest sellers.

Mostly because the decisions to be made are so complex, it is impossible for a consumer to know whether they're getting the best deal, but also because many decisions related to medical "purchases" are not made calmly and rationally. cleaner... http://www.pcc.com/lists/ " To unsubscribe: mail with "unsubscribe" in the body of the message.
