Question

• Why do you think the United States has not adopted the approach to health care as Canada, France, and much of the developed world?

Answer 1

The health care system is difficult in the US but now there are proposals for it to come into form.When we look at canada’s health care its a good example to be followed because it is supported at the national level where many are benefit but administered by individual province.It is not only about Canada there are many other who starts with the fundamental coverage which the US dont. Though US already have a canadian style medicare and its for over 65 years because its cost and the need will go lower to take care of the aged,most of the health issues happen earlier than the age they offer the medicare and later over 65 the illness is at a very low stage.The main reason for the lack of this is that the cost of drugs being priced too high and the ability to afford it becomes a situation except for those who are employed and can afford to pay off from the salary.US do a lot of subsidies in R&D for drug development for the rest of the world.Apart from the political opposition in general to several certain social and democratic from and in the united states such as this it has also been advanced that the current situation of the rampant fraud against the medicare programme makes it inadvisible to extend the programme universally in the United States.
