Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This is a 5 page paper discussing benefits, costs and possible modernization of the public health care system in Canada. Canadians currently appreciate the public healthcare system in their country mainly because the Canada Health Act guarantees free health care to anyone in the country. Despite this advantage over other countries in which patients have to pay for health care and may be turned away if they are unable to, the Canadian taxpayers also realize that health care costs are increasing and this will eventually become a burden on the average taxpayer. Rather than give up the public system for a private system or a two-tiered system which would create an inequality in health care services for the public, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) has offered a report outlining certain areas in the current system which could be modernized including the Canada Health Act. While keeping universal health care as a priority, the CTF believes that the new principles of the system should be public governance, quality, accountability, choice and sustainability in addition to structural changes that would allow for individual accountability measures, intergenerational fairness and a commitment to innovative technologies. The taxpayer would still be the central focus of the health care system while increasing the efficiency of the current system.

central focus of the health care system while increasing the efficiency of the current system. Canadians have the advantage over many countries in
that their health care coverage is paid by the government through the taxpayers. In Canada, all health care is considered a right and unlike the United States, no one is
turned away from a Canadian health care facility because they are unable to pay. Even research in the most remote of the northern communities in the country has shown that
over 80 percent of those within remote regions see a physician at least one a year (DeCoster and Brownell, 1997). The benefits enjoyed by Canadians are largely due to
the Canada Health Act of 1984 which "ensures universal access, comprehensive coverage, and public funding for hospital and physician services" in addition to the "freedom of action" which is felt
