I read this quote from the Health Outcome section of the Comparsion of the health care systems in Canada and the United States. The quote reads:

"In the World Health Organization's rankings of health care system performance among 191 member nations published in 2000, Canada ranked 30th and the U.S. 37th, while the overall health of Canadians was ranked 35th and Americans 72nd."

I always heard that the Canadian health care system is terrible because it puts too many patients on a long waiting list for surgery or even a simple check up.

Can someone please provide a link that gives unbiased facts on how both health care systems work, or can you please in your own words break it down for me. I really want to understand this topic a lot more. And also give me your opinion on the matter, who do you think has the best health care system? U.S? Canada? And if its another country tell me which one and why?

Thanks

Probably doesn't exist to be honest.
