In Canada primary healthcare physicians are basically family doctors and handle everything through a private practice, physical, mental health, maternity, pediatrics, geriatrics, says an author of eighteen books on Canadian Health law.SP 2: This is not socialized medicine. The government does not provide doctors, does not provide hospitals, you go to whatever doctor you want just as you do here. And doctors can either take more patients or not take patients it is up to them. And the same is true with hospitals.SP 1: All Canadians have healthcare coverage through the government. 70 percent of healthcare is publically funded and 30 percent is privately funded. Each province runs its own healthcare budget although the federal government supplements some provinces that are not as prosperous as others. It is a very cost effective system. Only 10 percent of GDP, compared to nearly 16 percent of the US economy. And Canada only spends some 3,895 dollars per person a year. That is about half of the expenditure for the average person in the United States. SP 3: Germany has two strands of health insurance, public and private. Under any plan visits like my routine physical with Doctor Shivara are covered. SP 4: There are treated it doesn’t matter if they are private or normal patients. SP 3: Universal healthcare. Germany has one of the oldest systems in the world. Founded in 1883 by the first German Chancellor Otto Von Bismarck, with a principal that remains unchanged still today. Everyone must be covered and ideally everyone should get equal treatment. Most German’s are insured under the public plan which is not funded by taxes and employees pay half the premium while employers pay the other half to insurance companies that are heavily regulated by the government. Here at Berlin’s Charite hospital the director says that means world class healthcare for everyone. SP 5: If you go to the emergency room or if you go to an out-patient doctor you can get a vaccination and a liver transplant without difference between people. SP 3: And doctor Frie says even with universal healthcare the cost per patient is lower in Germany than in the US. SP 6: How does healthcare work in Cuba?It is not an easy question to answer but there are some impressive statistics. According to the World Health Organization, Cuba’s life expectancy is 78 years the same as Chile in Costa Rica and the highest in Latin America. And it’s infant mortality rates are the lowest in the hemisphere, in line with those of Canada. This clinic in Managua, a community outside Havana, is one of the Cuba’s newest and best equipped. It serves a population of some 15,000 people.
