[size=16px][color=rgb(68, 68, 68)]1. Canada’s health care system is “socialized medicine.â€
False. In socialized medical systems, the doctors work directly for the state. In Canada (and many other countries with universal care), doctors run their own private practices, just like they do in the US. The only difference is that every doctor deals with one insurer, instead of 150. And that insurer is the provincial government, which is accountable to the legislature and the voters if the quality of coverage is allowed to slide.[/color][/size]
[size=16px][/color][color=rgb(68, 68, 68)]The proper term for this is “single-payer insurance.†In talking to Americans about it, the better phrase is “Medicare for all.â€[/color][/size]
