Some Canada vs US health care info

The United States spends much more money on health care than Canada, on both a per-capita basis and as a percentage of GDP.[5]

The U.S. spent 15.3% of GDP on health care in that year; Canada spent 10.0%.[5]

In Canada, the United States is used as a model and as a warning against increasing private sector involvement in financing health care. In the U.S., meanwhile, Canada's mostly monopsonistic health system is seen by different sides of the ideological spectrum as either a model to be followed or avoided.[17][18]

a total of 40% of Americans ages 18–64 have inadequate access to health care, according to the Consumer Reports study
