Que privilegia la solidaridad sobre el lucro, tiene que hacer frente a todos los problemas que surgen cuando se eliminan o distorsionan los precios en una economía.
Creo que todavía queda hilo en el carretel para seguir tirando un tiempo con reformas que introduzcan un poco más de racionalidad en el sistema, pero a mediano y largo plazo todo el mundo sabe que es absolutamente inviable:
Pressured by an aging population and the need to rein in budget deficits, Canada's provinces are taking tough measures to curb healthcare costs, a trend that could erode the principles of the popular state-funded system.
Ontario, Canada's most populous province, kicked off a fierce battle with drug companies and pharmacies when it said earlier this year it would halve generic drug prices and eliminate "incentive fees" to generic drug manufacturers.
British Columbia is replacing block grants to hospitals with fee-for-procedure payments and Quebec has a new flat health tax and a proposal for payments on each medical visit -- an idea that critics say is an illegal user fee.
And a few provinces are also experimenting with private funding for procedures such as hip, knee and cataract surgery.
Esto es lo que pasa cuando decidís ignorar la naturaleza humana.
