The adequate Treatment for Canada’s failing health system firstly is criminal prosecution and jail for the bad doctors, bad nurses for failing to help the sick people adequately and having enforced, Real management, supervision of doctors, nurses, medical and hospital workers. It is still a criminal act now for any doctor, nurse, hospital administrators, medical supervisor not to provide medical care to any seniors. How many have been prosecuted for this in the last year? All Canadians are not getting value for their tax money placed in the health-care system, and the health-care system needs to be massively transformed, as the underlying principles of the Canada Health Act which include “universality and accessibility” are not being met since they are not enforced by the federal or provincial governments. Our system of publicly funded health care is founded on the promise that all Canadians will receive needed medical care when and where they need it. Far too often the promise falls short. Especially with its shortcomings, the present system will not be able to meet future needs.

I am an American who has spent the past four years living and working in Canada. There is simply no comparison between the universal health care options I’ve both observed and experienced here in Canada, and what my American friends and family experience firsthand in the U.S. system. For-profit HMOs, powerful health insurance lobby groups, and a systemic obsession with medical litigation result in massive expenditures on unnecessary and expensive medical tests, treatment and procedures. The PSA test is a good example. More is not necessarily better, folks. I can’t believe that so many people in the Toronto debate audience actually voted for the American health care system.
