The document discusses replacing the equal per capita funding formula for the Canada Health Transfer (CHT) with a needs-based formula. It finds that a province's rural population percentage, percentage of citizens under 1 year or over 65 years old, and percentage of low-income citizens are significant cost drivers for healthcare spending. The current formula does not account for differences between provinces in these demographic, income, and geographic factors. The document recommends a needs-based CHT allocation based on these three criteria to better support the principles of the Canada Health Act.

it is short overview of health system in cuba .where it is considered as efficient public health system in the world with lowest levels of mortality and morbidity .
Big changes are coming for Ohioans who are 60+ and Ohioans with disabilities. The Ohio Department of Medicaid has announced changes to streamline the Medicaid program by eliminating spend-down after August 2016. The changes will bring a greater number of people into Medicaid but will also result in some people losing their benefits. The transition is complex, continues to evolve, and holds severe repercussions for many Ohioans’ health care coverage.

The Affordable Care Act fundamentally changed the landscape of the U.S. health care system. With more than five years since the law’s passage, questions remain about how to fix a system that remains broken despite recent reform efforts. Did the Affordable Care Act adequately reform a failing health system, or did that prescription only treat the symptoms of a much larger illness?
Over the last several months AOF and our partners have been focusing on helping Ohioans be safe in their homes, afford the basics and find good jobs that stabilize families in the state budget. Now, the budget has moved into the last step of the process -- Conference Committee. Speakers explain what's happened with health and human services programs over the course of the budget process.

* Col Owens, Senior Attorney, Legal Aid Society of Southwest Ohio

2014 National Healthcare Quality and Disparities Report Chartbook on Care Aff...Ernest Moy
This Care Affordability chartbook is part of a family of documents and tools that support the National Healthcare Quality and Disparities Report (QDR). The QDR includes annual reports to Congress mandated in the Healthcare Research and Quality Act of 1999 (P.L. 106-129). This chartbook includes a summary of trends across measures of care affordability from the QDR and figures illustrating select measures of care affordability.
