Soaring costs force Canada to reassess health model

[The Old Medic]

And the place to start is to figure out which prescribed drugs are necessary and which ones can be replaced with a healthy lifestyle, or to put it in other terms how much would health costs be reduced if the average adult weight was reduced by 15 lbs?

Oh yes, provide medicines only to those that we consider worthy. That's a philosophy that would have fit in beautifully in Nazi Germany.

Canada is the ONLY western country that does not allow any form of private medical care. It made the choice to only allow the government to provide the funding, while maintaining a totally private health care delivery system. It's funding has been woefully inadequate for many years, and now it is reaping the costs of that short-sided approach.

In order to provide a decent level of medical care, Canada is going to have to raise taxes. There is no alternative, so long as the government remains the single payer for all of its citizens.

If they do not raise fees paid, etc., the end result will be an exodus of physicians leaving Canada for the USA (this has already begun by the way, the US is gaining some 5,000 Canadian physicians annually).

Hospital will not be able to function under reduced rates. This will cause them to neglect maintenance, cut staff, and generally lower the quality of care provided.

The appropriate answer would be to go to a German style medical system. Require that every employer provide medical insurance coverage to every employee, and their family. Require that every medical insurance policy MUST cover all necessary medical procedures, including transplants, mental health coverage, etc.

The government will purchase insurance for those who can not work (the chronically ill, the disabled, etc.) Exempt professionals and the self employed, but make them 100% liable for their own expenses if they do not purchase insurance.

Then stand back and allow the free market to function. In Germany, the satisfaction rate with their medical system is the highest in the world. Insurance companies compete to see who can provide the best services for the same premium. They have a significant surplus of doctors (including specialists), and people change doctors and insurance companies as they see fit.

It is a system that has been in place since the 1880's. Even Hitler didn't try to change that system, because it worked so well.

You need a knee surgery in Germany, you book it for when YOU want it done. You need any elective procedure, you choose your hospital or clinic, and you schedule it at YOUR convenience.

The only ting the government does is make certain that every insurance policy meets government standards or higher, and that the companies are solvent.

I agree with some of what you say and I disagree with some of it.
"Oh yes, provide medicines only to those that we consider worthy. That's a philosophy that would have fit in beautifully in Nazi Germany."

No- provide medicines for those who need it. People who are obesly fat from lack of exercise and over eating, don't need medicine, they need to re structure their life. I wouldn't be against minimal medicine while they make the transition.

"Canada is the ONLY western country that does not allow any form of private medical care. It made the choice to only allow the government to provide the funding, while maintaining a totally private health care delivery system.

THAT I'm in agreement with. Gov't.'s f**k up most things they stick their nose into. I don't however think it's the employers duty to fund healthcare beyond paying an adequate wage that will handle routine healthcare. Insurance companies can handle the rest. People have to priotize their needs - for me personally good health is pretty high, a lot higher than things like expensive recreation and I personally think it deserves $200 or $300 a month. Some folks can't afford that much, they need public assistance- I have no problem with that. What I do have a problem with is the drones, dregs and parasites who want someone else to look after them. Put the ball in their court- let THEM choose if they are going to live or die (not withstanding mental cases).

Sorry OM, but Canada has a great deal of private medicine in its system. First of all almost every doctor in Canada operates as a private corporation or is part of one. Second all dental care and a good deal of other medical services such as massage and physiotherapy are privately owned. In addition medical labs and similar services are frequently private. There are also a number of private insurance companies in Canada offering extra medical coverage for such things as prescription drugs, dentistry, and so on.

In order to provide a decent level of medical care, Canada is going to have to raise taxes. There is no alternative, so long as the government remains the single payer for all of its citizens.

Actually there is no need to raise taxes. What really needs to be done is to reduce the number of private (and therefore expensive) health services in Canada. This could be done by putting doctors on salary instead of allowing them to operate privately, and eliminating the huge number of private for profit medical services in Canada as well as the expensive private supplimentary insurance plans. The British adopted this model of 60 years ago and their health care costs are half Canada's while offering better service.

If they do not raise fees paid, etc., the end result will be an exodus of physicians leaving Canada for the USA (this has already begun by the way, the US is gaining some 5,000 Canadian physicians annually).

Nothing new here. This has been happening since the 1960s. Doctors who put money before service go to the US in order to enjoy even larger incomes. However, I doubt that there will be much of an increase. The US has only a limited need for Canadian doctors. As a result it accepts on the most highly qualified. Anyone else who wants to leave would have to compete for limited medical positions.

The appropriate answer would be to go to a German style medical system. Require that every employer provide medical insurance coverage to every employee, and their family. Require that every medical insurance policy MUST cover all necessary medical procedures, including transplants, mental health coverage, etc.

The government will purchase insurance for those who can not work (the chronically ill, the disabled, etc.) Exempt professionals and the self employed, but make them 100% liable for their own expenses if they do not purchase insurance.

I suspect the German system would work well. But please note it is a largely a single-payer system under government control, which is something you do not seem to favour. Please also note that it is also considerably cheaper per capita than the US system probably due to the fact that it is single-payer and that there are not hundreds of private insurance companies all doing their best to deny the consumer proper medical coverage.

 

[AnnaG]

All I know is that when President Obama was trying to get a U.S. health system started, everyone except a few were saying how great the Canadian system was and that the U.S. should pattern itself after it. You are confusing me (I'm confusing me). :lol: Your right, nationalism shouldn't have no part in health care. But what is the best way to go, were all getting older and putting a demand on the system. If you regulate drugs and doctors to much they will just become scarce.

Like I keep saying, we should be looking at places like the Scandinavian countries, Switzerland, France, Japan, San Morino, Italy, etc. for better systems.

In recent years, many right of centre Canadian governments have turned over elements of Canadian health care to private companies. The supposed reason for this is to "reform" or improve the system. But the actual reason is the desire of right wing governments to eliminate public infrastructure while at the same time rewarding their right wing business supporters.

It is interesting to note that there has been no appreciable improvement in either efficiency of services offered or the lowering of health care costs as a result of privatization. Not a single government in Canada has produced any statistical data to show that privatization of health care services has in any way made the system more cost effective. However, it is one of the fundamental desires of many right wingers in Canada to turn over as many aspects of health care as possible to for-profit firms. It is all about finding ways to make Canadians pay more for public services and directing government funds toward the private sector.

Sadly, although Canadians like to point out corrupt the US political system is, Canada also has its share of stupid and unscrupulous politicians.

The best systems tend to provide for both private and public health care as co-existing.

The Canadian system is better than yours, but no where near the best.

That's how bad your system is.

Look to France or Sweden for superior systems.

Ours is more like Cuba.

You want to know the best way to go?
1. Keep Gov't right the hell out of it, for starters that will pare down the bureaucracy.
2. Live a healthy lifestyle
3. Buy medical ins. from a private outfit and choose the deductable that best suits you, (you don't want to hit them for all the "nickel and dime" stuff- that just drives up the premiums.)

2. Live a healthy lifestyle

1. If you leave government out, then you lose a lot of organizational structure, and addressing trends in health care delivery and emerging concerns is much more difficult with many independent parts moving in separate directions. We're talking about large demographic changes here in Canada, and in the US as well. How do you address that without maximum coordination?

Also, I've had the benefit now of working for the government (provincial and federal) and working for a large corporation. I can tell you flatly that the bureaucracy in the corporation is far worse than the bureaucracy I was subjected to in government work. You still have to meet government red tape, plus the red tape of the corporate system!

2. Flatly telling people to live a healthy lifestyle doesn't work. How many people do you know who are overweight, smoke, and work a stressful job? Realistically, how many would quit their job, quit smoking, and eat a balanced diet if you told them to, even telling them it's for their own good?

There is nothing simple about fixing these kinds of problems.

Government is more efficient in health care.

Costs are much lower.

No need to look to far south for that fact.

But I see no reason why the private sector can't play a huge role under the umbrella of government run health care.

France uses this....they have a very good system over all.

Sorry- I should have said "healthier", of course you can't eliminate ALL unhealthy activity or situations, but you CAN improve your diet and 99% of people can find an hour a day for strenuous exercise or even 15 minutes plus 2 hours on Saturday and Sunday. Smokers can at least cut back 25%. Every little bit helps. Across a populationm of 35 million I bet the savings from just that much would be astronomical- several $million a year.

 

[taxslave]

A large part of the problem is that when our free medical system was set up even open heart surgery was limited. Technology has grown exponentially and every one thinks that they have a right to all the latest tests and gizmos for free. This is simply not sustainable. At best we can probably afford a free for all system that provides basic care along the lines of what was available in 1965. Anything better is going to have to be financed by the recipient either by private or government run health plans or good old cash.

You've hit the nail right bang dab smack on the head. Back when I first started working if a guy couldn't be saved for $100 he likely couldn't be saved. :lol::lol::lol::lol:

When nations like France and Britain have a better health care system than Canada's and their per Capita cost is lower, perhaps it is time to consider using those countries as models for Canada's system.

Yeah right. Many Canadians hold the single-payer system as sacred. The idea of moving towards a two-tiered system like what we find in many European countries would be sacrilegious to many Canadians.

That said, I agree with you that we need to learn from our European counterparts in how they've solved the problems we're facing now. The problem though is that they solved the problem by abandoning a principle many Canadians still hold sacred; so then the question is: how do we first remove the fixation on a single-payer system on the part of so many Canadians?

How long do we have to continue with single tier system before we get the picture that it doesn't work? Like a famous guy (Will Rogers?) once said, "only an idiot tries the same thing over and over expecting different results". :lol::lol::lol:

Of course. But just because someone can, doesn't mean they will. The benefits of a healthy lifestyle is not a new revelation...I don't see how you expect to get Canadians to live healthier lifestyles without some kind of government involvement. Who else is going to lead the public education campaign necessary to get results? Any initiative will have to include many stakeholders, from government to charities to community organizations, and everywhere in between.

You are right, most people just haven't reached the point yet where they can accept the fact that we are running short of money for healthcare. When we reach the point that only routine procedures can be funded by the tax dollars and there is only two choices for expensive procedures- pay yourself or die, most people will start to get the picture. Smart ones will get the picture a little sooner so we are not confronted with quite the crunch. While I notice there are still a lot of obese out of shape people shuffling around town, I'm also noticing more people starting to walk, run and cycle. We are starting to turn a corner.

Perhaps the high pric It would save us all a bundle.e of gas and HST on their favorite junk food will motivate lard asses to get healthy by default.

But then there are people like me who think gov't butts into people's lives too much and in the wrong places.
IMO, gov't should heavily tax stuff like alcohol, tobacco, processed foods, fast foods, etc. Maybe high user fees for carbohydrates and fats like we should have for carbon users.

 

[Tonington]

Pigovian taxes. If high taxes are dissuasive to businesses, then it stands to reason that high taxes on products which produce negative results would also dissuade their usage.

The German system is NOT a single payer system at all. They have literally hundreds of health insurance companies, and each company pays their own bills.

And Canada does NOT have a private medical system. Being a physician in private practice does not make fore a private medical system. So long as you have a single payer system, you can not have private medical care.

Great Britain has a system where you have both a government plan, and private medical care. If you have the money, you can choose to have private physicians, your own hospitals, etc. You don't have that in Canada.

Cheaper per capita, yes, and also much more difficult to obtain many services. Try to obtain weight loss surgery in Canada, as just one example. The average wait time is over 3 years. Or take a simple hernia surgery. My paternal grandmother died of a strangulated hernia (gangrene set in) while waiting for her surgery in Winnipeg.

Most Canadians have absolutely no knowledge (other than what they read in the papers or see on TV) about how the average American gets medical care. I have never been denied any care I needed, or wanted, nor have I ever had any significant delay (only for appropriate pre-surgical tests, etc.)

In Canada, MRI machines are largely unavailable in the evenings, nights and on week-ends. In fact, in many areas, animal doctors utilize the MRI machines during those hours. In some areas of Canada, a person can wait months, if not years, to get an MRI done.

In the US, you can get a needed MRI done 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Contrary to what so many Canadians believe, you can walk into any emergency room in the US, and get treatment free of charge if you have no insurance and no assets. Anyone, including illegal aliens, can do this.

This is NOT the case in Canada however. I know several people that became very ill, or were injured while visiting in Canada, and they were denied treatment when they had no funds to pay for the treatment. They got the minimum possible to stabilize them and were sent on their way.

In the USA, every hospital gives away millions of dollars in free service every year. That's one of the reasons the costs are so high for those that do have insurance or funds, they are recouping the lack of payment for all of those free services they give away.

I am a Canadian citizen, yet if I were to become sick in Canada, I would get minimal, if any services, because I do not live there. In the USA, in actuality, you get the medical care first, and they ask for the payment later in an emergency situation.

Elective treatment is very different though. If you don't have the money, or insurance, you can wait for elective treatment. BUT in Canada, virtually everyone HAS to wait for elective treatments, even though they are insured.

Try to tell my family just how great the Canadian health system is. Had my grandmother been in the USA, she would have been admitted the day her hernia was discovered, and had surgery the next day. In Winnipeg, she was told that she was not a priority, and she died while waiting for her surgery to be approved.

Yes indeed, that's a GREAT system you have up there.
