The Future of Canadian Healthcare

The grand rounds today was a very inspiring talk regarding the change Canada's healthcare needs.

Although Canada has a "universal healthcare", it's the worst "universal healthcare" that exists currently and we, as Canadians, need to recognize this and promote change. We can't just let ourselves be identified by our current medical system but push for an improvement because it's sub-optimal right now.

We need to help the politicians to not be too scared to implement change and make mistakes because these are necessary in change.

Change from the current healthcare system to one that's more community-based can also take power away from hospitals and physicians, but that's what revolution is and for the sake of truly patient-centered healthcare, we need to make steps toward it.

Of course, there's much more to improving our healthcare than what I've mentioned above, but this was a great time for me to think more about the future direction of our healthcare system and how I could contribute to it in the future.
