32
Q

36
Q

What is myth #1 about the Canadian health care system?

A

Doctors are self employed, not government employees.
Even though the system is publically funded, most don’t work for the gov’t. Doctor’s can determine their own hours, work ovocation, and paying expenses. They earn money by billing their provincial government for the services that they provide.

37
Q

What is myth #2 about the Canadian health care system?

A

Canada has 15 different health care system.
People refer to “The Canadian Health Care System” when in reality it has health systems for each province and territory. The Canada Act outlines health care standards. Provinces determine details. The plus side is that provinces can tailor health care to the needs of their residents. The downside is that coordinating health care reforms across the country continues to be a challenge.

38
Q

What is myth #3 about the Canadian health care system?

A

Funded health care services are not provided equally across Canada. there is variation from province to province about what is considered an “essential health services”.
For example, Quebec’s system covers infertility treatments while other provinces do not. B.C, Ontarion and Quebec cover births delivered by midwives. Funded therapies for autism vary, and abortion services are not equally accessible. The Canada Health Act does not cover prescription drugs, home care or long-term care so there are different approaches for these things in each province.

39
Q

What is myth #4 about the Canadian health care system?

A

User fees charged to patients are not permitted.
In some provinces, doctors may charge a small fee for missed appointments, doctors notes, and prescription refills done over the phone. The doctors don’t receive payment from the provinces for these things.

40
Q

What is myth #5 about the Canadian health care system?

A

Canada does not truly have a single player system, meaning a significant portion of Canadian health care comes from private and public financing. Public financing for essential physician and hospital care, but Canadians have to pay for specialized services out of pocket.
Examples would be eye and dental care. More than 60% of prescription drugs and paid for privately. Canada is the only country with a universal health care system that doesn’t cover prescription Druge. Canadians pay for 30% of their health care–only 70% is publically funded. Canadians are just as likely to hold private health insurance as Americans.
