| | |  American System: Encyclopedia - American Sign LanguageAmerican Sign Language (ASL, also Amslan obs., Ameslan obs.) is the dominant sign language in the United States, English-speaking Canada, and parts of Mexico. Although the United Kingdom and the United States share English as a spoken language, British Sign Language (BSL) is a different language from ASL, and not mutually intelligible.
ASL is also used (sometimes alongside indigenous sign languages) in the Philippines, Singapore, Hong Kong, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Puerto Rico, Côte d'Ivoire, Burkina Fas ...

| | | | American System: Encyclopedia II - Canadian and American health care systems compared - Quality of health care While Canada's health system is cheaper, it compares well on a statistical level with the American one. Life expectancy in 2002 was about two and a half years lower in the United States than in Canada, with Canadians living to an average of 79.8 years and Americans 77.3. Infant and child mortality rates are also markedly higher in the United States. This may be due in part to the different way agencies compile their statistics.
When comparisons of public satisfaction are made between the two nations' health care systems, the numbers f ...

| | | | American System: Encyclopedia II - Canadian and American health care systems compared - Politics of health Currently, the major parties in both countries support the status quo. The Democratic President Bill Clinton attempted a large reform of health care, but the effort collapsed in his first term. The 2000 U.S. election saw prescription drugs become a central issue, but although the program created by George W. Bush increased the relative cost of American health care, it did not fundamentally change the system. In the 2004 U.S. elect ...

| | | | American System: Encyclopedia II - Canadian and American health care systems compared - Economic effects Conversely, the problem could be not poverty leading to poor health, but poor health causing poverty. Over a quarter of the American poor report chronic health difficulties, a level much higher than in Canada. This can make it far harder to find and hold a job and improve one's financial well being. Better overall health of the poor encourages social mobility and may play a role in it recently being easier to climb the social ladder in Canada than in the United States.
The economic effects of the differences in the two health system a ...

| | | | American System: Encyclopedia II - Canadian and American health care systems compared - Flexibility One crucial advantage of the larger role of the private sector in American health care is flexibility. In Canada, increasing demands for health care, due to the aging population, must be met by either increasing taxes or reducing other government programs. Both of these are being done in Canada to great acrimony and debate, and since governments are very reluctant to raise taxes, there is a tendency to delay until a problem is critical before acting. In the United States, if the government does not act, more of the burden for health care wil ...

| | | | American System: Encyclopedia II - Canadian and American health care systems compared - Government involvement The two neighbours are a dramatic contrast. Canada has one of the world's most fully socialized health care systems (with the exception of services noted below) while the United States is one of only two OECD countries (with Mexico) to not have some form of guaranteed health insurance for all citizens.
The governments of both nations are closely involved in the delivery of health care. The central structural difference between the two is in health insurance. In Canada all citizens are guaranteed access to health care by the Canada Hea ...

| | | | American System: Encyclopedia II - Canadian and American health care systems compared - Cost of health care Health care is one of the most expensive items of both nations’ budgets. In 2001, in Canada, about 16.2% of government money was spent on health care, while in the United States this number was 17.6%. When exchange rates are included it can be seen that government in the United States spends more per capita on health care than the government does in Canada. In 2001, the government of Canada spent $1533 ...

| | | | American System: Encyclopedia II - American Sign Language - Writing systems ASL is often glossed with English words written in all capital letters. This is however a method used simply to teach the structure of the language. ASL is a visual language not a written language. There is no one-to-one correspondence between words in ASL and English, and much of the inflectional modulation of ASL signs is lost.
There are two true writing systems in use for ASL: a phonemic Stokoe notation, which has a separate symbol or diacritic mark for every phonemic hand shape, motion, and position (though it leaves something to ...
