Decent Essays

I do not believe private health care should be permitted as the main focus is on the profit made through patients and lacks focus on the actual concern towards health. The term “Commodification of health care” explains how “treating health care as a commodity to be bought and sold in the pursuit of profit maximization.” (pg.34) Although Canadians have access to public health care, privatization companies will simply affect the “growing cost of medications, profit strategies utilized by pharmaceutical companies” who then will make the Canadian government willingly turn regulatory decision over to drug manufactures.…
