	Perspectives on the European Health Care Systems: Some Lessons for America
		Indeed, with the current systems in place, and with the current sources of funding, and given the aging of the population, there is an enormous shortfall in health care funding which is constantly growing.
		If health care is rationed and patients' access to a treatment or a drug they need is blocked because of budget limits, it is hardly relevant to them whether the rationing authority is the government, a sickness fund, a health maintenance organization, or an insurance company.
		A health care organization that is truly based on competence could serve its clients without having to recruit between 20 and 30 million new employees (the number that was considered necessary to meet the health care needs of Western Europe in the next generation).

		Canadians will argue until they're blue in the face that, in fact, the sacrifices in quality care are not that great.
		When you say the Canadian system is good for women, what you mean is that it's designed to be a system of care, that is, it's a non-heroic system, and its emphasis is on non-heroic medicine.
		The American system is one of those systems that looks horrible from the outside, but to those who actually participate in it, they begin to appreciate what is specific and wonderful about the system.

		Heritage Foundation health care policy analyst Edmund F. Haislmaier contends that the pattern emerging in Canada is "eerily similar to that found in other nationalized health care systems.
		Health policy analyst Edmund Haislmaier observes: "The perceived lower rate of Canadian spending results from differences in the economies and demographics of the two countries, and not from differences in the efficiency of their health care financing systems.
