The average public spending on health care across the OECD countries is about 72.5 per cent, with Canada slightly below at 70.3 per cent. The balance is financed by private health insurance or simply paid out of pocket by individuals. In 2000, only 11.4 per cent of Canadian health-care costs were financed by private health insurance, compared to 12.7 per cent in France. Various countries see the use of private health insurance differently. In some cases it provides primary coverage for different population groups (for example, in the U.S., Germany and formerly in the Netherlands) and in others a supporting role for public systems. In Australia, Ireland, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, private health insurance funded providers operate in parallel to the public delivery system, offeri...

It's frustrating, because as an MS doctor, I would like my patients that are on public assistance to have the same access to MS treatments as patients with private drug plans," says Dr. Paul O'Connor, head of the MS clinic at Toronto's St. Michael's Hospital. "We're talking about a population that has challenges staying in the workplace, has challenges in terms of maintaining their status on private insurance," says Jon Temme, vice-president of research for the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada. The drug, which costs in the range of $40,000 a year, was approved for use in patients who have not responded to other available treatments aimed at slowing the progression of the disease.

Manitoba Public Insurance provides comprehensive insurance coverage that people are not afraid to access because MPI does not penalize them for doing so. MPI only surcharges when they are responsible for a crash. Private insurers penalize customers for accessing coverage whether they were at fault or not. Public auto insurance companies continue to have the highest collision claim rates. In 2005, Manitoba's claiming frequency was 9.5 per 100 vehicles, compared to 5.2 per 100 in Alberta and 3.3 in Ontario and Atlantic Canada. Over the last five years, the claiming frequency within the private sector has been about one-third that of Manitoba. In other words, any vehicle damage in Manitoba ends up an Autopac claim while elsewhere it often ends up as a personal expense. MPI pays out in cla...
