Question

why might canada 's health syatem be difficult to implement in the US

Answer 1

Canadian health care system is Single-payer healthcare which is a type of universal healthcare that covers the costs of essential healthcare for all residents, with costs covered by a single public system. Single-payer systems may contract for healthcare services from private organizations or may own and employ healthcare resources and personnel.

US health care systm is a multipayer system where the expenses for medical pratices is provided by not only by government but also by prive sectors (insurance companies). Thus here all the individual cannot get same care and maintanance.

The reasons why canadian health system applied in US are

1. They have relatively high level of health expenditure, in the U.S. there are fewer physicians per capita than in most other countries.

2. In the U.S., there are only about 1.2 primary care physicians per 1,000 people. Projections indicate that the U.S. will need 52,000 more primary care physicians by 2025 to meet demand. While population growth and aging make up a substantial proportion of this increased need, expanded access to insurance under the Affordable Care Act means more people will seek out treatment. Therefore, there are provisions in the legislation to increase the number of primary care physicians in the U.S.

3. Coverage by employer-provided insurance varies considerably by wage level. Firms with higher proportions of low-wage workers are less likely to provide access to health insurance than those with low-proportions of low-wage workers.
4. Smaller firms are significantly less likely to provide health benefits to full or part-time workers.

All the above are some of the reasons why US health care system is inappropriate, Whrn we go through the health care system of canada they provide each and every individual the same health care through government sector.
