Study in new medical journal compares health outcomes in Canada and U.S.



So there's the current answers and reports on this debate, whether Universal Health Care is worse or better then Private.

I still stand by Universal Health Care, due to having it all my life, and this just reinforces that opinion.
One place in the study it says in the US we pay little over $7,000 per person for HC while Canadians spend over $2,000 per person. I'd assume they are including the US premiums for HC, but what about Canada's higher taxes? Was that included in the cost per person? I'd want to see how they arrived at that figure.

Just doesn't seem like American's are flocking to Canada, and they could be, we have close borders.
