The Senior Working Group (SWG) reviewed the basics of Canadian universal healthcare that through the test of time has crumbled giving birth to a partial but more efficient private model. The Canadian medical system besieged by a massive poorly planned influx of immigrants to Canada, governmental cuts to funding and staffing and poor management fails to deliver adequate healthcare to its citizens. Theoretically all are entitled to equal medical care in this socialist model but those with private health insurance and funds to participate in private health care provider groups are those who have adequate medical care. The system is so poorly managed almost half of Canada’s population has no access to a primary care physician.
For example, the average waiting time for a cardiac ablation to manage atrial fibrillation in Canada is two years. With private insurance in the United States it is two weeks.
The universal healthcare system deprives Canadians of free choice to physicians as all Americans enjoy with private insurance or adequate funds. Doctors are poorly incentivised as employees of the state with fixed salary ranges.
The SWG recommends the universal healthcare system in Canada be discontinued and private medical care be reinstated in Canada as it once was in their Canadian Golden Age. For a limited period the indigent should be offered a limited version of universal healthcare.
The SWG recognizes the dismantling of the existing system be graduated.
The SWG encourages incentives be offered to American insurance companies to be the cornerstone of health provision in the 51st state.
The limited Canadian and Pharmacare and Dentacare programmes should be eliminated. Drill baby drill!
