2007 Public Health Expenditures as Percent of GDP
Canadian Health System
• Single Payer• Financed out of income tax revenue• No “official” gate keepers• No parallel private insurance allowed• Supplementary insurance subsidized as
employer based in US
Canadian Health System
• Physicians and Hospitals• Diffusion and Use of technology• Role of Insurance• Divergence between US and Canada
German
• Sickness Funds• Private Insurance • Reforms of the 1990s• Hospitals Mixed public/private
German
• Physicians and Hospitals• Technology• Effects of Financing through Payroll Tax– With elastic labor supply the decrease in demand
results in lower employment rather than lower wages
UK
• Structure of NHS– Rationing by queuing – Private parallel insurance
• Physicians compensation– Hospitals (Salary)– Non-Hospital (Capitation)
Summary
• Canada has best health outcomes• UK spends the least.• Germany has the greatest Hospital/Physician
capacity• US Spends the most, and has the worst
outcomes as measured by life expectancy
