Canadian here: Your post is kind of at odds with the final question you posed.
You can have the money AND not sacrifice health outcomes. As you said, Cdn and US governments spend the same amount of money for the same outcomes.
- dpritchett 15y agoAlso Canada has dramatically less ethnic diversity, at least if I'm reading Wikipedia correctly.
- burgerbrain 15y agoAre you really suggesting that a few ethnic diseases would render the Canadian healthcare system unworkable? I find it very hard to believe that a few more cases sickle cell or whatever would have that kind of effect.

- burgerbrain 15y agoI think you are underestimating the prevalence of high-blood pressure in ethnicities technically less inclined to have it.
- dpritchett 15y agoCanada also has a lower obesity rate. I'm suggesting that a U.S. healthcare dollar is statistically not going to go as far as a Canadian one, even if the U.S. had universal health care.
