Market-driven healthcare reform is now a reality. As the federal government grapples to control open-ended entitlements, Medicare and Medicaid, and as the private and public sectors continue to wrestle with the costs of healthcare coverage and delivery, it is useful to review the Canadian healthcare system. Canada's system underwent considerable analysis during the Clinton administration's attempt at healthcare reform. Then, as now, the system was heralded or reviled by disparate interests. Canada's system deserved another look in light of current U.S. interest in healthcare reform.
由市场驱动的医疗改革如今已成为现实。随着联邦政府努力控制无上限的福利项目，即医疗保险和医疗补助，以及私营和公共部门继续应对医保覆盖范围及医疗服务成本问题，审视加拿大医疗体系是很有必要的。在克林顿政府尝试进行医疗改革期间，加拿大的医疗体系受到了大量分析。当时，就像现在一样，该体系受到了不同利益群体的赞扬或诋毁。鉴于当前美国对医疗改革的关注，加拿大的医疗体系值得再次审视。
