  4. Focus on Newsy Topics Aging population Costs and spending For-Profit More not always better Health more than Health Care Patient Pays Sustainability Waiting for care

  5. Maintain Neutral Evidence-Based Position This project is about  getting the evidence right – if there is anything we are missing – let us know.  If we have anything wrong let us know and provide the evidence demonstrating this.  We expect people will sometimes interpret the evidence differently. That is ok, but we do want to make sure we have the evidence right.

  6. Why the markets can’t run hospitals by Julia Belluz on Monday, December 5, 2011 • Defining public vs. private care • According to the non-partisan Evidence Networkwebsite, out of the University of Manitoba, health care funding can be public, quasi-public and private. Public funding is paid for by the government: medically necessary hospital care and physicians’ services. Quasi-public funding, such as Canadian workers’ compensation plans, is “legally private but highly regulated by government and expected to act in the public interest.” Private funding refers to that which you pay for out-of-pocket: dental care, vision, outpatient drug costs, private hospital rooms. The government doesn’t cover this stuff, so you can pay for it yourself.
