Fraser Institute Publishes Report on Failings of Canadian Healthcare System
What happened
The Fraser Institute published a report detailing the challenges within Canada's single-payer health care system. The work was co-authored by Steven Globerman. The assessment concludes that the needs and preferences of patients play only a small and indirect role in the allocation of health-care resources. The report also notes that government intrusion into health care raises costs, devours the federal budget, and increases Americans' dissatisfaction with the quality of medicine.
