Actually, there are many good and many bad things about both the canadian and US systems. The Canadian system has a fabulous preventative care system that prevents many issues from occurring so there isnt an overwhelming demand for higher level services such as cardiovascular services. The bad part is "cost management" or "quota system" of the needed higher services such as neurosurgery. In the US, there is a terrible preventative care problem (coupled with lack of personal accountability) that creates more people needing higher level services at a tremendously greater cost.
I agree that the US system is extremely difficult to solve, particularly with apathetic people. The US has no overall plan to actually cut costs, treat more people, create individual accountability, etc. In my opinion, there is a strong base of untapped resources in the US that could be utilized to have a greater impact on individual health---which are public health centers. If those were used to capacity, it would greatly improve health care outcomes.
I have worked on US healthcare in Appalachia (which was comparable to 3rd world nations in the 1960-70s). I went to Canada to review its system and write a "lessons learned" series. Mostly, I work in 3rd to 5th world countries.
My personal favorite system is a mix of everyone's system---a little bit of USA, canada, uk, Italy, France, iran, south Africa, etc, etc.....
My work is usually due to a crisis--example: 200 kids died from xxxx so there is a need to force the system to react, intervene, and stop whatever--while forcing the system to change/adapt so it doesn't happen again. Sadly, it takes mayhem and destruction to get people motivated to force their government to meet the populations needs.
Ps.: I work with any government that invites me . Ask president obama and PM Harper to issue me an invitation. I'd be happy to oblige
