Question about Canada's Universal Healthcare?

I am Canadian and I moved to China and they have private healthcare like in the US. I pay about $1,300 a year for inpatient only treatment. I also sell private medical insurance here.

I know exactly how private insurance systems work because of it and I know how Universal systems work being from Canada. Universal is far better. Costs: Canada spends 10% of GDP on healthcare and everything is covered.

UK spends 8% of GDP and everything is covered. The US spends 16% of GDP and you still have to pay for private cover which never covers everything no matter how good it is. Health: All industrial countries running Universal systems have longer lifespans than the US, they have lower infant mortality, and they're all happier with it.

Above that, most of them have more doctors per capita than the US so obviously it doesn't scare people off becoming doctors. I think greedy doctors in America is US cultural phenomenon. Economy: Because businesses are not burdened with the costs of paying for their employees health insurance, they are more competitive.

Also, there is no one in a Universal system that goes bankrupt over medical problems. Abstract: I think it's sad that people would deny someone healthcare because it costs money to tax payers. I'd much rather my tax dollars went to helping people rather than funding war.

Education: Americans often say "I don't want to pay someone else's medical bills". That is a lack of education talking. Private insurance pool's the money from all their clients and when someone goes to the hospital, that money is used to pay the medical bills.

It is exactly the same except that it costs more because A) the pool is riskier if it smaller and B) insurance companies take around 30% of the money you spend and pay themselves with it. Insurance companies have no reason to exist. All costs would instantly drop 30% without them.

Based on the above, there is no denying Universal systems are far better. The only reason Americans like it is because they've never experienced anything else and they're extremely arrogant.

I prefer privatized insurance, not that its perfect in any way, but the level of care you receive outweighs that of a doctor who is forced to accept peanuts as a wage, this is why people fear obamacare so much, we feel we'll lose our rights to question anything.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
