Set aside ideology and take real look at European health care

Professor Colleen Flood’s recent column in Globe Debate (Canada should look to Europe on health care, not the U.S) got the title right – but just about everything else wrong. Canadians would indeed benefit from a look at Europe for lessons on healthcare reform. What they should not do is fall for Ms. Flood’s erroneous jumbling of statistics that muddle reality and results in false conclusions.

Access delayed, transparency denied

Dr. Nigel Rawson

Yet another patient appears on Global TV News unable to get an expensive prescription drug reimbursed by the Ontario provincial government, and the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care responds that the provinces and territories are working together to negotiate with manufacturers to get the best possible prices for drugs. What no one gets to know is precisely how thats happening or how quickly, leaving us all in the dark about access to a vital component of modern medical care.
