Concept information
Preferred term
healthcare in the U.S. and Canada
Definition
- While Canada and the United States had quite similar healthcare systems in the 1960s, the two neighbors now stand in marked contrast in terms of healthcare system provision and payment. The United States features a market-based system of delivery and payment, while healthcare delivery is organized in Canada by provincial governments, which also are responsible for most healthcare expenditures.
