How do Canada and the United Kingdom deliver healthcare and what is the problem left unresolved?
What will be an ideal response?
Canada and the United Kingdom provide healthcare using a universal coverage, single payer system. Everyone is covered by health insurance and the government pays for all healthcare services. The government's public choice determines the quantity of healthcare services provided. Consumers pay little or nothing for any healthcare service. Consequently the quantity of healthcare services demanded exceeds the quantity provided by the government which creates a problem: There often is a long waiting period until a patient receives services.
