Canada's health care system provides health care to all citizens. The healthcare is financed and delivered through 10 provinces and three territories. In Canada, there is no cost-sharing for the health care services. Canadians are guaranteed access to hospitals and physician services, but it is up the province to decide if supplementary benefits are covered. Therefore, 2/3 of Canadians take out private, supplemental insurance plans (Kliff, 2012).

As a group, we recommend that the United States try to adopt a universal health plan like Canada's. If the United States were to adopt a single-payer system, then costs would lower and quality of care could potentially improve. Even though the United States has different beliefs than Canada, we still believe having a universal health care system would be great for the US.
The United States has much more medical equipment available than Canada.
