Abstract

Health Care Policy in the United States: Lessons for Canada At first blush, the suggestion that the American experience in health care policy may contain some helpful lessons for Canada may seem surprising. For one thing, there is a large body of opinion in the United States (and also in Canada) which holds that the adoption of a system closely modelled on the Canadian one represents a promising type of reform for the United States, as that country tries to repair some of the worst deficiencies in its system of health insurance and health services provision. By the same token, most Canadians consider their health care system as vastly superior to the American one, and would argue that any change inspired by the American example is bound to be a change for the worse.
