Description
Summary:Unlike Americans, Canadians, in general, are happy with their health care system. They typically live longer, have healthier babies, and pay less for health care than Americans do. Health care is at the top of the US agenda, and Canada's national system has often been presented as a model. This distinguished group of experts, including the father of the Canadian health care system, Allan Blakeney, and the Honourable Perrin Beatty, Minister of National Health and Welfare, show what can be learned from Canada's experience.
