The Munk Debate: Health Care

If you are interested in the healthcare system, whether you from Canada or the US you should listen to this debate. Now.

The Munk Debate: Health Care

“Be it resolved, I would rather get sick in the U.S. than in Canada.”

Arguing for the benefits of the Canadian healthcare system are former presidential candidate Howard Dean, and Dr. Robert Bell, President and CEO of the University Health Network. Speaking in favour of the U.S. system is Dr. William Frist, former U.S. Senate Majority Leader and nationally recognized surgeon, and Dr. David Gratzer author of the Donner Prize award-winning book, Code Blue:Reviving Canada’s Health Care System.

My views on this: there are basically two sides to every story, neither are right, neither are wrong. Both systems would likely benefit from more collaboration.
