I, selected this option because every citizen is taken care of with a type of insurance. while the U.S. spend way over and there is still citizens that have no insurance at all. Therefore, the budget that is better is Canada. the system is working well.
The US system is great for those who can afford it with the price constantly rising.
The Canadian system ensures that everyone has access to some level of health insurance with private companies allowing the wealthy to pay more forfaster/better treatment.
free
Every citizen can get health services by way of the national health care system. I agree with the more socialist view as everyone should have a right to medical care and certainly emergency care without the additional burden of paying extra. Agree that there should still be an option for private and public. Don't agree that this should be covered by employers, but rather a tax credit like Australia, if you pay for private health insurance. The family can then choose the insurer and change to what suits them - they are not dependent of having a job and nor do their benefits change or have to qualify if they change jobs. They also can then choose if they can afford the private health insurance (through their tax credit - reduction in tax) and not be affected by job losses.
Getting sick shouldn't be an undue financial burden.
I'm a Canadian citizen, I'm a naturalized US citizen, I have experienced both systems. I don't know one person among my family and friends in Canada that would change to the US system!
because
All costs covered.
Every person will have healthcare and their would be one single payor and less healthcare expenses for people are not able to afford care.
Because everyone deserves health care.
More affordable for everyone
Because every citizen can receive service
None
There is wait times in Canada but if you have a life threating emergency you go first
In canada I bo not have a 5 or 10 thousand doller deductable and if i have a hospital stay for a month or two i don't have to sell my house to pay for it I know cause i was in the hospital for a very long time many times
Cheaper
I use it..😁😁😁😁😁😁
I choose this because, I heard some stories about people in the US having to pay lots of money out of their pockets to get proper healthcare.
all residents are eligible for healthcare coverage.
I'm a single mother in the united states that works full time, goes to school full time, is financially self sustained-barely- and I have not seen a doctor in years due to no health insurance, despite sickness, mental health needs, and women's care needs.
health care can't be private, corp. need to make a profit, they will cut claims or increase prices or whatever they have to do to make a profit
Ever tried to work through what you plans you need to cover health insurance in retirement in the U.S. It is mind blowing. Plus the never ending co-pay bills you receive if you use and medical services.
cuz
The united States cant agree on healthcare and hasn't advanced enough to take care of their citizens
Because we all get care when it's needed.
Plus Canada doesn't have gun problem.
Healthcare in Canada is less expensive because there are no "middle man" insurance companies as well as coverage being universal. As 40% of American's are not covered, the question of which is the best system is a mute point I would think.
I am Canadian, our health care is great. It is universal, it is covered by taxation, wait lists are only in elective or non life threatening kinds of situations, some health care is not covered such as dentists, rich or poor are medically treated the same. No one needs to worry that an illness or accident will bankrupt them. We have a generic drug program.
Much more convenient system.
Because the Canadian government pays for health care services for any legal Canadian citizen.
We should have adopted and implemented the single payer system used in Canada.We would be better off,This article even supports my opinion with the comparisons.A Canadian friend of mine whose brother works in Canada's healthcare system cites that Canadians have a nearly 3 year life expectancy longer than Americans. Canadians rank 3rd in long life spans trailing only Japan and New Zealand.The U.S. is 13th in the world in life expectancy.This mandated system (Obama/Romneycare was originally a CONSERVATIVE idea created by a rightwing thinktank called The Heritage Foundation.They ran away from it when Obama adopted it!BTW even the Rightwing darling Sarah Palin confessed when she was a little girl growing up in Alaska,she and her family used to go into Canada for their healthcare needs.Palin recalls how pleased she and her family were with the quality and affordability of the Canadian system.
Canadian government has equality for it's citizens, where as the United States does not care about the well being of indigent individuals.
Canada has better coverage, access, and cost.
Everyone has access to health care
Universal health care just makwes sense- all poeple should have access to health care.
I feel the effects it would have on our high infant mortality rate is the single greatest reason it needs to be adopted by the government before it's to expense for anyone including those privately insured to be anle to afford any healthcare services
because they offer coverage to evry one no matter their condition
I am a Canadian who has always lived in Canada. I am married with 4 children. Since universal health care was implemented in Canada our
family has had many medical problems. These include 2 broken backs,
2 prostate operations, 1 pulmonary embolism, 1 broken collar bone,
1 broken thumb, 1 brain operation, hospital stays totalling 4-5 months
numerous G.P. and Specialist doctor visits, numerous stitches and other medical problems too numerous to record here. The cost $0 for the medical procedures and less than $50,000.00 for upgrades from ward
care to semi-private, meals, parking, gas, and other items not related
to health care. How much would an uninsured or underinsured person in
the U.S. pay
Also, I would not have qualified for medicade if I had lived in the U.S. and only 2 of these services were emergencies and neither emergency was the fault of a third party.
because everyone has access to healthcare in canada
Because it is an important system to have, and Canada has obviously put a system in place to ensure it's people will be looked after and well off.
Everyone needs healthcare rich & poor. Rich wouldnt be rich without the poor and the rich use 20 times more of the commodities and services per person check it out
