Introduction tchin6 https://padlet.com/tchin6/yevp31tso524/wish/351834757 The topic that I research was based on health care in Canada, with a touch of pregnancy in the country. Canada’s Publicly funded health care system is zestful, In the last four decades, changes of reforms have been made and will continue to change throughout society and medicine.  
 However, the basics remain the same. Universal coverage provided on the basic need of health care services, rather than the ability to pay.

About Canada tchin6 https://padlet.com/tchin6/yevp31tso524/wish/351837295 Canada health care is strictly build around the principles. While Canadians citizens will receive medically necessary care and hospital physician services, there are no guarantee for Canadians to have no share in cost for health care under federal laws. These citizen are also granted access to the hospital and physician services, while depending on each province to decide whether to cover supplementary benefits. Meaning, physicians can give orders to decline benefits.  ]]> 2019-04-16 00:20:28 UTC https://padlet.com/tchin6/yevp31tso524/wish/351837295 3.

With the 28 Countries including the Universe, do you know that Canada stands 3rd in the health care spending. Another down fall for Canada and one of the main reason for wait time is the number of beds in the hospital.
