Economists who can count all the inputs say that in total, Canada spends
considerably less per person on health care than the US. And unlike the
US, they don't leave out 1/4 of the population while doing it.


Canadian hospitals have less modern equipment available than American
hospitals do. They depend on American medicines after destroying incentives
to develop their own with price controls. They buy American medicines in
bulk covering only the manufacturing costs, while American hospitals have to
cover development costs as well. In short, American health care is better
than Canadian health care.
