The prevalence of violence against women was used to indicate the extent of patriarchal control in each of the countries. Socioeconomic factors were also taken into consideration. The study found that women lived longer than men in all 51 countries. The study also found that those countries with higher rates of female murders (indicating higher levels of patriarchy) also had higher rates for male death and shorter male life expectancies, compared to countries with lower female murder rates, the researchers said.

Canada has a problem. Its government-run health system is deadly. Now Canada's Supreme Court has ruled that the system's long waiting lists violate the Quebec charter of human rights and freedoms. More from the New York Times: The Canadian health care system provides free doctor's services that are paid for by taxes. The system has generally been strongly supported by the public, and is broadly identified with the Canadian national character. Canada is the only industrialized county that outlaws privately financed purchases of core medical services. But in recent years patients have been forced to wait longer for diagnostic tests and elective surgery, while the wealthy and well connected either sought care in the United States or used influence to jump medical lines. The court ruled that the waiting lists had become so long that they violated patients' "life and personal security, inviolability and freedom" under the Quebec charter of human rights and freedoms, which covers about one-quarter of Canada's population.

Feature Article Canada's Fatal Error - Health Care as a Right (Part I) Michael E. Aubrey, MD There is something wrong with medicine in Canada today. This conclusion can and probably has been reached by any member of the profession who has paused from his or her daily endeavors to consider the current state of medicine in this country. Despite rather remarkable advances in the art and science of medicine patient care is deteriorating. The availability of medical services is diminishing and waiting lists are growing longer. Patients are often obliged to seek medical care in facilities far from home. The cost of health care in Canada has been spiralling upwards out of control, and predictions for the future portend the collapse of what was once an excellent health care system. Caught in the middle of the unfolding disaster is the Canadian physician. On one side the profession finds itself beset by abusive governments that seek to offset the collapse by controlling the physician and the way he practices his profession. On the other side is the public who, for the past quarter century has been told by the organizers of socialized medicine that health care is now "free," and that all they need do is to profess a need for any service and it will be provided. With the consequent open ended demand being placed on finite resources it was only a matter of time before the situation deteriorated to its current state.

Feature Article Canada's Fatal Error - Health Care as a Right (Part II) Michael E. Aubrey, MD In Part I of this essay, we discussed how Canada committed the fatal error of proclaiming that health care is a right and ended up with socialized medicine. In Part II, we will now discuss the long term consequences of this decision. Perhaps, the U.S. can learn from our mistake. The Laws of Supply and Demand To begin to understand some of the long term consequences of declaring medical care to be a right we must understand exactly what happens when a society makes such a declaration. What is it that actually takes place when what is clearly a product is considered to be a right? Other than giving liberals and conservatives alike the warm fuzzies, what is really going to occur? The critical event is the breaking of the direct economic link between the producer of health care, the doctor, and the consumer of health care, the patient. With the severing of the economic link between producer and consumer, a very important financial check on the system was lost. The patient no longer had to be concerned about being financially responsible for his or her own health care. He could profess a need for virtually anything available and the state would provide it. The physician no longer worried about whether or not a patient could pay for any given test or treatment. He could order and do anything for the patient and the bill was paid. Hence with the advent of socialized medicine concerns with respect to costs became, on an individual level, irrelevant.

From a distance, Canada may seem to have it all: modern medicine and universal insurance. Up close, the story is quite different. On June 9, the Supreme Court of Canada called the system dangerous and deadly, striking down key laws and turning the country's vaunted health care system on its head. The ruling aptly symbolizes the declining enthusiasm for socialized medicine even in socialist nations. American legislatorssuch as those in the California Senate who approved a single-payer plan this monthshould take note.

Health Issues Socialized Medicine Canada Style: Nobody Likes It To hold down skyrocketing costs and still comply with mandates of the Canadian Health Care Act which requires universal health coverage from the government the province of Ontario passed a so-called Savings and Restructuring Act earlier this year. It attempts to attack the problem of out-of-control costs by rationing and price controls. Over the past five years, increases in Ontario's mandated physicians' fees have been restricted to less than 1 percent a year. Doctors have been required to return to the government one-third of their gross income over $251,000 Canadian (US$183,700) , two-thirds of their gross income over C$276,000, and three-fourths of their gross income over C$30l,000. Their net income after expenses, but before taxes, is 40 percent to 50 percent less than their gross income. In spite of these measures, physicians' total billings are increasing by 13 percent a year. In June 1995, after four years of socialist rule during which the provincial government's debt load doubled Ontarians elected a conservative government which drastically reduced spending. In January, Ontario passed the Savings and Restructuring Act. Although aimed at cutting costs it has had these results: Ontario physicians have become civil servants although without pensions or unemployment insurance.

A new study from the Vancouver-based Fraser Institute documents the system's failures: Despite spending more money per capita than any other country with a similar system, Canadian health care ranks on a par with that of Turkey, Hungary and Poland. Canada ranks 18th in access to MRIs, 17th in access to CT scanners, eighth in access to radiation machines and 13th in access to lithotripters, which are used for treating kidney stones. Canadians do somewhat better in terms of health-treatment outcomes but that is due in part to their option to come to the U.S. for services that would be unavailable or dangerously delayed at home. All of the countries that beat Canada in outcomes have parallel systems of private health insurance and care delivery operating alongside the government system.

The Socialized Medicine Page Here is another "crisis" manufactured by big-government liberals in both political parties, in cooperation with the national news media. Apparently their ultimate goal is the bankruptcy and elimination of HMO's and the takeover of the health insurance industry by the federal government. Socialized medicine, Hillarycare, medical records, government regulations, intrusion, paperwork. You may recall that co-President Hillary Clinton tried to arrange for the government to take over the health care industry (and take over 1/7th of the nation's economy) in 1993. Fortunately that failed, so the Democrats are trying a new approach. The term "Patients' Bill of Rights" indicates that (1) people are being led to believe that health insurance is a right, and (2) this issue is as important as (or at least on a par with) the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution. Giant database, nationalized health care, bureaucrats, red tape, medical privacy, government control, health care. Anyway, I object to the use of the term "Bill of Rights" to describe anything less important than the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution. It's like referring to TV Guide as the Couch Potato's Bible. That only cheapens the name of the Bible, and doesn't substantially benefit TV Guide.

I am totally confounded by this term and it seems to only apply to MRI machines, ignoring the other 99% of medicine. The provision of health care in Canada already occurs on at least seven different tiers that I can think of. We tend to console ourselves in the belief of our socialized system. We even have a national set of laws termed “The Canada Health Act” that was meant to guarantee the same medical care to all Canadians. It was well intentioned when enacted, but with time, we overwhelmed our ability to provide state of the art medicine and the price of advanced technology was too great to provide for all. No matter how wealthy or poor, Canadians all get the same level of care. Or do we? In Ontario, most residents are covered by a provincial insurance plan called

Home Newswire About Us Donate ... Archives Headlines Printer Friendly Version E-Mail This Article Published on Tuesday, August 27, 2002 in the Rex Morgan's Prescription? Socialized Medicine in US by James Adams Supporters of socialized health care in Canada and the United States have a seemingly unlikely friend in Rex Morgan M.D. , the handsome, deeply decent physician who has been a staple of newspaper comics since 1948. So far there's no record of the Romanow health care commission or the U.S. Secretary of Health having consulted the fictional doctor. Mr. Wilson has been writing Rex Morgan M.D. , a sort of soap opera in comic form, since 1991, having worked as an apprentice under its originator, psychiatrist Nicholas Dallis (now deceased), since 1982. Under Mr. Wilson, Rex Morgan hasn't hesitated to tackle domestic violence, epilepsy, drug abuse, AIDS, organ transplants, asthma and sexual harassment. But in recent months Mr. Wilson has pulled his rock-jawed hero firmly into the far more dicey arena of health policy, even sending him to Washington, D.C., to testify before legislators. The strip's current storyline is dealing with the fallout from the death of Rex Morgan's friend, Dick Coleman, who lost his job after being diagnosed with colon cancer. Losing the job resulted in the loss of his family's health coverage and the threatened foreclosure on the mortgage on the Colemans' home.

Submissions MYTH: It would cost too much money. FACT: A single-payer universal system would cost no more than we're already spending on health care, according to studies by the Congressional Budget Office, the General Accounting Office (GAO), the Lewin Group, and the Boston University School of Public Health. The GAO estimates if the United States changed to a universal single-payer system, it would save in the short run: $34 billion in insurance overhead and $33 billion in hospital and physician administrative costs. This savings would come from providing timely care to those who would otherwise delay care, thereby becoming sicker and more expensive to treat. The cost of serving the newly insured would be about $18 billion. The cost of providing additional services to the currently insured-due to elimination of co-pays and deductibles-would be about $46 billion. MYTH: It is socialized medicine.

post article search main Socialized Medicine - Outsourcing? Posted by Mr. Econotarian on Tuesday July 13, @04:21AM from the dept. No doubt we will see a lot of sound and fury about health care in the time leading up to the US elections in November. Medicine is a highly emotional topic, and is highly regulated. There is an almost unlimited market to medicine (as examplified by the thousand dollar full body scan and the $17,000-a-month Erbitux cancer drug). Given patients with an unlimited capability to purchase medicine (either with their own or someone else's money), there is almost an unlimted amount of health care that can be bought. Governments are faced with rationing health care by what individuals can pay, or by providing socialized health care with rationing based on "reasonable health care measures," generally determined by a committee and not the person facing imminent death. In most socialized medical regimes, this means long waits for non-emergency procedures. Or you can have a two-tier system, as in the US, where the government provides nearly half of every health care dollar. Those who can afford to can "jump the queue."
