Which country has a higher life expectancy: Canada or the USA?I'd like to know your criteria for making value judgments like "disater". My sister, a pediatrician, has seen studies of premature mortality due to poor medical care in the US and the UK (which isn't the same as Canada, but similar). The numbers are comparable. In the US, people without insurance may get no care at all and die prematurely, while those with insurance generally get very good (though expensive). In the UK, just about everyone gets so-so care, with a fair number of "disasters" resulting from serious conditions being overlooked until it's too late. So, if you have a middle class lifestyle with insurance, you're better off in the US. If you don't, you're better off in Canada or the UK. |
