Tale of Two Countries' Video Looks at Health Care in Canada

Canadian members of CWA talk about their country's health care system and how it compares with the costly system in the United States in a video that the Canadian Media Guild produced for last year's CWA convention in Toronto.

The video is now available online on at www.healthcarevoices.org/canada. The Health Care Voices website features hundreds of stories, ideas and concerns of CWA members and their families as part of the union's fight for health care reform in the United States.

The March/April issue of the CWA News, which goes in the mail next week, explains CWA's campaign for reform and looks at differences between the publicly-funded systems of Canada and Europe and the insurance-driven system in the United States.

In the video and in other interviews, Canadians indicate they don't understand why Americans cling to a staggeringly expensive system that leaves so many people without health care.
