eli5 what the difference is between the healthcare system in US and Canada?

321 views

Where I live the conventional wisdom is Canada has better healthcare because it’s more affordable. However I recently spoke to someone who worked in both Canadian and US hospitals and she said US had had more technology and more of a desire to stay competitive and welcome new patients. In both Canada and the US there is health insurance some employers offer so it’s not free in either country.

Its all well and good being competitive but what does it matter if those worst off in society can’t acces care?

Also, canada has free healthcare as well as private healthcare you can get through employers. This is not uncommon in countries with universal.

Canada probably not the best example of healthcare though given that their solution for a lot of disabled people is to convince them to have euthanasia.
