    Reid begins chapter 7 discussing the Beveridge model of health care. The first aspect that stood out to me is that the sales tax rate in Britain in 17.5%. Reid is right, that amount does make us Americans cringe, especially me! I can’t even imagine going to buy a new shirt and getting taxed 17.5%, a huge increase from Michigan’s 6% tax rate.

  • Lester B. Pearson's Universal Health Care In Canada

    420 Words  | 2 Pages

    Programs such as the Canadian pension plan, universal health care and student loans, all exist because of Lester B. Pearson. Mr. Pearson wanted to help Canadians by introducing programs that would support them both finically and physically. He proposed the pension plan to aide seniors once they retire, a pension plan provides partial income replacements for seniors who retire at the age of 65. This program was very effective hence it still continues to help seniors around Canada today. After the CPP was introduced Canadian seniors received additional income which helped them improve their living conditions, helped them pay for expenses and overall helped them lead a better life after retirement which was a lot considering the living situations during that that time period.

  • Aboriginal Health Case Study

    224 Words  | 1 Pages

    The delivery of Aboriginal health in Canada is complex and multi-jurisdictional depending upon whether one is First Nation, Inuit, and/or Métis; status or non-status; on-reserve or off-reserve; living in a territory or province; urban or remote; and whether a nation has settled a treaty or not. I commend Lemchuk-Favel and Jock (2004) for recognizing that an approach to Aboriginally-controlled health systems cannot be a one-size fits all solution. The case studies emphasize “the diversity in Aboriginal health systems necessary to accommodate vast differences in cultural expectations, health service needs, jurisdictional complexity, and geographic location” (Lemchuk-Favel & Jock, 2004, p. 28). I found it promising that several provinces and territories
