single payer health care is a symbol to us of what it truly means to be canadian, that we take care of each other. now my grandparents emigrated to canada in the early 1950s like so many people that come to this country hoping to build a better life for their kids and at that time there was no universal health coverage in canada. so when my grandfather had his first heart attack, his world was shaken nearly a decade later, the family was essentially bankrupted by medical bills. i know that this remains a reality for many in the united states today but you should know that just north of your border that kind of a situation is essentially unimaginable. my generation of canadians does not remember what it was like to worry about paying a doctor or a hospital bill. and despite our challenges which of course every country experiences, canadians have a longer life expectancy, lower infant mortality rates and fewer preventible deaths than in the united states. single payer health care is also as you know less expensive. in canada are administrative overhead is less than 2% as compared to 18% in the private plans here in the u.s. we spend just

canada. turning down certain procedures. and also we compare ourselves, our health outcomes, to the rest of the world, and people say, they are not as good. but you have to realize, we also include murders, car accidents in that. if it were just outcomes after people were diagnosed with illness, i think the united states does very well. one more point, if i could. i have been watching the news this morning and other than fox news, very little is being said about the masking done by the obama administration just prior to president trump being inaugurated. i think that is a big story and no one is covering it. host: let's go to california. david. good morning. caller: pedro, thank you so much for all the great work that you do. the caller that said that you're not correcting people when they are wrong, i don't believe that anybody can make a statement like that. your job is to be impartial except when people say from both sides. as far as c-span, i'm spreading the word about c-span. all the high school kids and college kids that i encounter. if anybody is impartial, i

mayor bowser is not endorsing the plan yet but send ing her health director to canada where the practice is in place. leaders are just exploring the practice now. there's no estimate on costs, number of in corrects sites or if the city could be held liable . some leaders want to hear much more before they support this. i'm assuming that the the imoal is to save lives, but it does sound is this something that you want modern so society to be involved with? those supporting this he they say take a look back many years when the needle l exchange program was first proposed. it was a huge controversy. everyone thought that if you you give out free needles then other people will be encouraged to use drugs, more people will use drugs. the reason they did this is to stop the transmission of h ir aides and turns out many years later it has, in fact done people who transmit hiv and aides through needles has dropped droom cli. live in the the wilson building, matt ackland, fox5 local news. >> days after prince william county police shot and killed a 15 year old boy outside his home prosecutors rule

the question is, is it time that we go to a health care system like canada, where everyone is guaranteed health coverage and health care is a right, not a privilege? [ cheering ] >> so let me explain the three options that have been talked about that move in this direction and let you know the status of all three. the proposal that you hear frequently known as medicare for all -- >> woo! >> -- is to guarantee that there's a health care plan available for everybody. that doesn't change the current way we finance health care. medicare for all does not. medicare for all allows for a public option for everyone. i'll get to single payer. give me a chance. we also have a proposal that's been introduced to deal with the 55 to 65-year-olds, because they are the growth that are discriminated against under the current funding laws. they pay three times as much as the younger people pay for the same coverage. and we're looking at a medicare for 55- to 65-year-olds. just want you to know, these are two proposals that are very much out there. the single payer proposal is a proposal in which the gover

there's articles written leaving canada for health care, and many are coming to the united states, even though it's free, because in canada the waits are so long. and once they spend a certain amount of money, cat racket surgery, total joint replacement, for the year, they cut it off. and usually that's around halloween. it's why they call canadian medicine trick or treat medicine. >> let's say suf medicare for all, for everyone, no one is going to go without health insurance and medical treatment but at the same time you have private insurance at the same time and perhaps you can get some better treatment. once wrong with a double tear system nor that? >> for senior citizens right now on medicare, under this under mienls their ability to get care. >> they're happy right now who are on medicare -- it's a system that works for people in the united states who are 65 and older. >> it does work -- >> why not expand it for those who are 55 and older? >> because fewer and fewer doctors want to take care of medicare patients because the reimbursement is so low. i talk to hospital administrator

canada and britain. countries with better overall health incomes than the u.s. and a fraction of the cost to the public purse. such a generous plan doesn't come for free and most americans will end up paying higher taxes if it ever becomes law. how much higher depends on how big of a hole medicare for all will blow in the u.s. budgets. senator sanderses can suggests of $1.4 trillion a year to ensure everyone on the plan. others estimate the costs $2.5 trillion a year. but maybe there is another way to look at medicare for all. currently the average american spends about 10% of their income on health care costs. sanders projects the typical middle class family of four earning $50,000 a year would only pay $844. about 2% of their income. but a former health care policy adviser from the clinton administration says sanders is way off. estimating the tax was have to be much higher to pay for the plan, about 20% of the average american's paycheck. ultimately, the only way medicare for all can possibly succeed is if the higher taxes that come with it can be offset by t

they called it the best health care system in the world which one would you pick? canadaritain, singapore, germany, france, australia and the u.s. all offer universal coverage. we often hear about britain and canada. between those two, the experts preferred britain. but in the end, it came down to switzerland, edging out france for the best. two countries that we hardly hear about in our debate. joining me now, one of the experts that the "times" consulted in its report, craig garthway is a health economist at northwest university's kellogg school of management. let's begin with canada and britain. because we hear so much about the two of them. you preferred the british system. we'll put some points up about britain. you tell me why. >> i think probably there are a lot of similarities between these two systems. in the sense they have universal coverage. we talk about them together. a primary difference between england and canada, in england you're able to purchase private insurance that i allows to you avoid wait times if you'd like, go to different facilities, get access

health care system per capita in the world. why is it that we spend twice as much as canada per person on health care? that is true for other countries. only $10,000 per person? because our health care system today is not designed as a rational system. to provide quality care to all people in a cost-effective way. that is a rational system. but it should be for health care for all in a cost-effective way. the function of the american health care system is to guarantee enormous profits and the drug companies and insurance companies.

health care system per capita in the world. why is it that we are spending twice as much as canada per person on health care. that is true for other countries. why does it happen that we end up spending today over $10,000 per person on health care. i will tell you the answer. the answer is our healthcare system today is not designed as a rational system would be to provide quality care to all people in a cost-effective way. that is a rational system. people will argue that is the way to do that. it should be healthcare for all. quality care in a cost-effective way. the function of the american healthcare system today is to guarantee enormous profits to the drug companies and the insurance companies.

health care benefits away. somehow japan, england, canada, germany, france, they all figured out health care out.e. here are just some of the portions oppose this graham/cassidy bill. the american cancer society. the american diabetes association. american heart association. american asciatn.gun l the arthritis foundation. cystic fibrosis, the als association, the march of dimes, multiple sclerosis society. anything you've ever given money to thinks this is a bad idea. do you trust they will or do you trust him? okay. so if this bill isn't good enough for you, call your congress person.er to go your congress person, wherever he or she is. you have to do this. you can't just click like on this video. tell they will the bill doesn't pass your test. nobody outside of your buddies in congress wants this bill often 12% of americans supported the last one and this one is worse. right now there's a bipartisan groof of senators working to improve the health care system we have. we want quality affordable health care. dozens of other countries figured it out. so enstead of jamming this horrible bill down

if one wants to provide health care to the masses one can easily see that the single player -- hair system is the most effective. with the countries like switzerland or even canada the u.k., they have this health care set up. it is much better than what we have here in the u.s. moneyy spend much less per person. is thegle-payer system more conservative the more fiscally conservative system. however going to a single-payer system is also necessary to increase the government financial burden. even though you are spending less per person you will be covering more people. do we want to save the government money or do we want to provide a affordable effective health care system? those two things are mutually exclusive. we have to decide what debate do we want to have. host: which do you think is more important? caller: i believe the former is more important. i believe that we should provide effective affordable health care. that wee other ways could do this. we could trim resources from other branches of the government. that is a debate that i think we should have. the noise that you hear about the ineffectiveness of noise-payer is that it is at a distraction. host:

health care system in the world. what are we spending twice as much as canada? wiry spending today over $10,000 per person on health care? the answer is it is not designed to provide quality care to all people in a cost-effective way. it should be health care for all or quality care the function of the american health care system to guarantee enormous profits in the insurance companies.

health care. almost 18% of our gdp and the projection is that number is going to go up in the next 20 years rather significantly. why are we spepding twice achz as canada or any other major country when our health care outcomes are not as good as the other countries? why do we pay the highest prices in the world for the medicine that we need? why are we the only major country not the guarantee health care as a right to all people? when you start asking those questions, then the solution moves into the direction of saying okay, we have a medicare program for people who have 65 or older. generally speaking, i has worked over the last 52 years. seniors are by and large happy with it and proud of it. well why don't we just expand medicare to every man, woman and child in this country. people are saying, yeah, why not? why don't we do that? and the advantages of that is that to administer the medicare program cost 2%, 2% administration. you pay $25 a co-payment, i pay $40, it is complicated and expensive to administer and the private insurance companies are spending between 12% and 18% on administration as opposed to 2% for medicare. we can save $500 billio

health care program. that's a mouthful. think canada, though. eliminate co-pays and deductibles, likely based on sanders campaign rhetoric during the 2016 election the plan would be paid for by a tax increase on the wealthiest americans. it's possible, though, could be an increase on everybody. on the other side of the aisle, we have the most traditional republican plan of the bunch. this is sponsored by republican senators bill cassidy, lindsey graham, dean heller, ron johnson. and even others involved. repeal and replace bill. there's a catch. has to be voted on by the end of the month, if the gop wants to pass it with the 50 votes in the senate. remember, couldn't pass the last one with 50 votes and needs to move on it transferring much of the responsibility to the states giving money in block grants to fund their own exchanges, eliminate tax credits from middle income families subsidies for low income families and individual and employer mandates and medicaid expansion but keep protections for pre-existing conditions. not sure how much chanc

canada. i'm familiar with single payer health care. i actually like it.he fact is it probably can't be done without increasing taxes. it probably will reduce health care costs in the long run very, very substantially. but in the short run, it probably means an increase in taxes somewhere. >> well, this is why we need to have regular order and have debates and discussion. because, you know, we heard from somebody from canada currently they have a really good system. they are systems we can learn from. but know health care in our country consumes 1/5 or 1/6 of our entire gdp. it's already a very costly system and we can do better. >> senator, always a pleasure to talk to you. we wish you continued great success and we know you'll have it in your own battle against cancer and thanks for being with us again. >> aloha. >> senator mazie hirono of hawaii. >>> up next, i'm going to speak with jared bernstein. former economic policy adviser to vice president joe biden. we're also watching the markets for you this hour. it's just been a strong week in general for m

canada. she said that americans are needlessly spending more money and getting less from health care but take a listen to what one of the doctors here in the u.s. had to say about the gaps that are not filled by obamacare right so right now we don't really have a great system where we can honestly tell every american to matter where you live you have a right to health care and we can overcome that with a program like medicare for all so ed you saw and heard it there there were some big names from capitol hill who all stood and spoke behind with bernie sanders folks like the lizbeth warren cory booker kiersten gerald joe rand a dozen more of course as you know sponsoring this very important bill they know that they have a long road ahead of them to get this through congress but they seem confident that the failure of the two previous republican bills. prior to getting this one out will help them at least move the conversation in their direction get the ball moving in their court and the way sanders is presenting this this will be implemented over time that we were around us we'll be right away

. >> you want to guarantee that all people have access to health care as you do in canada. but i think what we understand is that unless we change the funding system and the control mechanisms in this country to do that, for example, if we expanded medicaid, everybody -- we would be spending such an astronomical sum of money that, you know, we would bankrupt the nation. >> obviously, senator, the issue of this is there's the idea of health care for all is something that has majority support. then when you remind people how much it could cost, how much taxes go up, then people get concerned, and obviously you were concerned about the finances there. explain what you mean and how you can change the funding system to not make this so astronomical. >> okay. very good question, chuck. but here is my hope. you and i are going to discuss this within five minutes. i would hope very much that nbc and cbs and abc allow us some serious discussion time to explain to people in our country why we are spending so much more than other countries. but very briefly -- and i would hope that we
