Canada's Health System: Public-Private Mix, Resource Allocation, and Challenges
VerifiedAI Summary
Canada's health system is a collaboration of private and public providers. The system uses population health to allocate healthcare resources and is funded by the government and users' contributions. The private-public mix in health insurance is highly competitive, and there is a two-tier system. The challenges facing the health system include the desire for efficiency, an aging population, and high public debt. Ongoing reform initiatives include the renewal of the Canadian health system and an audit of its structure.
