Bakunin Posted June 10, 2005 Report Posted June 10, 2005 Hmmm interesting, our healthcare minister wants an euro style healthcare system in quebec. Looks very promising, i just hope that once we get a good healthcare system in quebec, the rest of canada won't come over here to get better healthcare and slow down our system Link in french here is the translation of the part im refering with altavista tool and a quick grammar fix: QUOTE Allergic to dogmas, the minister Phillipe Couillard holds a very moderate speech on this cohabitation public-private, but he certainly agrees on the principle. He wondered, Friday, why Quebec would not do like many countries in Europe, recognized for their leaning social democrat and which integrated the private sector in the system of health, without a drama. "It is false and tendentious to establish a link between the participation of private in the system of health and the degree of progressionism of a society. How can anyone say that society like France, England, Sweden, are socially less advanced than Quebec on the basis of the participation of people receiving benefits of the private sector in their healthcare system? We can see that it is ridiculous." "the Scandinavian countries themselves have a participation of the private sector in their healthcare system and from what i know, nobody see them as conservative or retarded society", he added. In the Scandinavian countries, in Sweden in particular, "they found ways socially right to introduce private services, without raising passion or hardly debating and they are a country which is very socially advanced. We used them as an inspiration in many social measures in Quebec ". But whatever model we chose, Quebec engage itself to frame the integration of the private sector within the healthcare system.
