By comparing the costs of health care administration for the United States with those
of Canada, researchers concluded in the New England Journal of Medicine that "if health
care administration in the United States had been as efficient as in Canada, $69 to $83 billion
would have been saved in 1987."
What will be an ideal response?
(Argument from analogy. The argument concludes that the U.S. system is
inefficient on the grounds that it costs much more to administer. It is a reasonable
conclusion if it can be granted that the two systems have basically the same purpose,
that is, are trying to accomplish similar goals. It is not clear that they are similar in
that respect. It is arguable that if national health is the goal both strive to achieve,
then Canada's system is more efficient. On the other hand, if the goal of the U.S.
system is free-market health care, then the U.S. system may not be inefficient.
Rather the higher administrative costs are necessary.)
