Today in Investor's Business Daily stock analysis and business news:
"Americans should know that one of the founding fathers of Canada's government-run health care system has turned against his own creation. If Claude Castonguay is abandoning ship, why should Americans bother climbing on board?"
The author points out the failings of the Canadian and UK systems, but not their successes, nor our failures here in the US.
I think both Canada and the UK have the opportunity to right their ships (Britain is already doing so), but suggesting that the solution is something like our mess has been rejected outright by Canadians and Brits. They know they have problems, but they also know the solution does not lie in the US system.
Finally, the piece would have benefitted from pointing out, again, for those who still don't understand it, that there are many universal healthcare systems in the world that do a far better job than our "free market" at providing care at lower cost with better outcomes.
Cheers,
