When you get down to the part under RESULTS to the "end stage renal disease" they neglect to note that African-Americans have a far greater incidence of this than do all other Americans.
Conclusion: totally intellectually dishonest leftwingnut report.
Yup, there is no honest reporting of anything related to healthcare in Canada. It is our Global Warming. Doubters will be shot!
We have no reliable outcome reporting.
We designed an executive information system for hospitals back in the late 80’s, early 90’s. We modeled (with their actual data) a number of large canadian hospitals. We also did similar sized US hospitals.
Canadian hospitals expended 82% of total budget for payroll!!!! This exluded doctors who are independently financed.
The split for similar US hospitals was 55%.
To reduce cost in a canadian hospital required a reduction of the 18% used for all non payroll costs. That is because everyone in the hospital belongs to a union. Salaries NEVER go down.
It is somewhat easier to make fiscal adjustments in the 45% plus in the US much of the payroll is no union and therefore somewhat flexible.
