Ringkasan :Canada is a high-income country with a population of 33 million people.
Its economic performance has been solid despite the recession that
began in 2008. Life expectancy in Canada continues to rise and is high
compared with most OECD countries; however, infant and maternal mortality
rates tend to be worse than in countries such as Australia, France and Sweden.
About 70% of total health expenditure comes from the general tax revenues of
the federal, provincial and territorial governments. Most public revenues for
health are used to provide universal medicare (medically necessary hospital
and physician services that are free at the point of service for residents) and to
subsidise the costs of outpatient prescription drugs and long-term care. Health
care costs continue to grow at a faster rate than the economy and government
revenue, largely driven by spending on prescription drugs. In the last five
years, however, growth rates in pharmaceutical spending have been matched
by hospital spending and overtaken by physician spending, mainly due to
increased provider remuneration.
