Health: Health Systems and Usa

health: In the most recent assessment of the quality of 11 international health systems, the USA came last, according to Huffington Post Canada. But we should pause and take a deep breath, because Canada came second last. After all, our health system is better than that of the USA. We see this to be self-evident, but it is also backed by data. Perhaps while we focus on comparisons with the USA we miss the fact that other health systems are improving and outperforming us. Canada rated especially poorly on equity. Looking up at these other systems rather than looking down at the USA may help us deliver better health across Canada. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
