Канада

Частная медицина в Канаде:

Цены, конечно, немаленькие - но совершенно разорительными не выглядят, если hospital costs etc. включены. А тем временем в госмедицине:

The advice came from David Dodge, the past governor of the Bank of Canada and former deputy finance minister who said medicare costs will inevitably rise in coming years at a greater rate than government revenues and the country’s gross domestic product, and require some unpalatable choices to be made.

Choices he suggested include new taxes specifically dedicated for health care or a steady reduction in the scope and quality of services provided by the public health system that would require people to either pay for private care themselves or suffer ever greater wait times for service in the public system.

“These are stark and unpalatable choices that we face with respect to health care, but there is no magic solution,” he said. “We absolutely must have an adult debate about how we deal with this. Finding solutions in this area is extraordinarily difficult, but it is imperative.”

Ай-яй-яй, так что же это получается, госмедицина - не решение всех проблем?

Правильно ли я понимаю, что вы считаете, что расходы на медобслуживание людей из госбюджета должны быть равны нулю?

В идеале - да, хотя до этого добраться будет непросто и небыстро.
