Canada's Health Costs for Seniors Rising Slowly
Physicians for a National Health Program [PNHP] Link to more items from this source
Oct. 29, 2012
"A [recent] study ... finds that per capita Medicare spending on the elderly has grown nearly three times faster in the United States than in Canada since 1980. (Canada's program, which covers all Canadians, not just the elderly, is also called Medicare.) Costs grew more slowly in Canada despite a 1984 law banning co-payments and deductibles.... 'Had U.S. Medicare spending per elderly enrollee increased as slowly as in Canada, the savings from 1980 through 2009 would have totaled $2.156 trillion,' said [the study's author]. 'That's equivalent to more than one-sixth of the U.S. national debt.'"
