Thanks, RR!

I agree, Yu Bum Suk. Being healthier than Americans isn't much to speak of.

Gopher, you think that Harvard Medical School is doing "useless" studies? Maybe they should have had a good Canadian school conduct the survey?

Useless poll.

I'm struck by the .4 and .5 percent differences that are presented as a world of difference...

For all intents and purposes, we are similar and not different.


Actually, you spend twice as much as we do on health care. That's a two-fold increase, not a similarity.

The differences aren't all that great, although some of them are, but they show a consistent trend toward Canadians being healthier. If the numbers were all over the place, the survey would be useless but they aren't and it isn't . It demonstrates that the Canadian universal health care system is cheaper and it works. I suppose that bothers you. I really hope it doesn't, though.
