I argue that the federal structureand parliamentary institutionsof the Canadianpolitical system encouragedthe formationof a social democraticthirdpartyand enhancedits efficacy in promotinghealthpolicy reform. The institutionalconstraintsof the Americanpolitical system, in contrast,impeded and the emergenceand consolidationof this type of policy "entrepreneur" forced the proponentsof health reformto restraintheir strategiesin orderto appeal to a wider coalition within the Democratic party.8The research methodology used in this article is based on comparativehistorical analysis, which involves examining the historical evidence for causal regularities and evaluating different explanatory factors that can account for divergent paths to social reform.9Here, I trace the postwar development of health reform in Canada and the United States, on concentrating the quarter centurybetween 1940 and 1965 when the two countries parted in their approachtoward health reform. The significant difference, as the historical evidence suggests, is the presence of a social democraticthird party in Canada able to influence the trajectory of health reform that resulted in the implementationof public, universalhealth insurance. Institutions, Parties, and Health Reform Institutional arrangementshave been identified as among the most important constraintsstill faced by health reformersin the United States.

In English 9, I remember when my teacher would take attendance at the beginning, but he would ask us a certain question to get to know us. Although the questions never pertained to the lesson, it was conversation starter which allowed me to meet my peers without actually talking to them since I was new. Ultimately, I was ordained into Honors English 10, and it turns out, I knew people from my 9th grade class. If I’m being honest, I don’t like to remember 10th grade, but that teacher recommended me to take AP Lang, which then of course, turned into AP Lit. AP Lang’s collaborative work meant that it was an extremely interactive class. It felt like a family because we definitely got to work with everyone at least once. Each class encouraged me
In Europe during the 1880s, the concept of universal healthcare started but the United States didn’t take hold of the idea
Thank you for your being a member of the Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) government. The Canadians population of 35,182,000 as of 2013 with life expectancy of 80 - 84 years, male and females respectively as of 2012 report (WHO, 2015), has truly benefited from the CPC form of government. In looking at long terms prosperity, universal health coverage is one advantage that removed the health disparities by providing health care coverage to Canadian citizens regardless of social economic class, and past medical history. The Canadian government provides allowances, supplemental income, and educational subsided programs for those at the bottom of the society (Canada’s Public Health Leader- [CPHA], 2010). The Canadian social determinant of
As students we all have one goal, which is to graduate and obtain a degree from our university. Although we all may have different degrees, every student is required to take two English classes. The professors should use these English classes to the students best advantage which is to better them as writers for their career following graduation. English 2000 should directly correlate to our major. When scheduling English 2000, the sections should be based off of your major. This gives the professor a chance to teach writing skills that can directly benefit one in their career following graduation. With having specific sections this allows each class to have students with similar majors, therefore everyone is benefitting.

One of my successful experiences during my previous years in school was when I had “A” as a final grade in ENG 101.

I’ve learned a lot of useful tips from this semester in ENG 201. English has never been my strong suit nor has it been my favorite class. However this college course has changed my point of view of the subject. Prior coming into college I viewed English as a useless class because I’ve already knew the basics: how to talk, read and write essays. Today I view English as an important class. It helped me in other courses that involved writing, such as World Civilization and Communications, because it allowed me to practice my skills. In my world civilization exams I had to write essays. This course helped me write an impactful essay. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that almost all of my exam scores were in the 90s, usually I do poorly in the
