A common myth in both the United States and Canada: The only two possible health care systems in the world are the Canadian system and the American one. People from country A say A's system is better.
Fact: The USA and Canada are both ranked in the 30s in the WHO's world health index (last time I checked), maybe about 5 spots apart. Discounting joke countries that have to be ranked but mean nothing (Monaco, San Marino, etc.) and occupy the top echelons, the Scandanavian systems (which are basically: everyone gets health care, and you can pay more money for better service) routinely rank ahead of the USA and Canada (and the rest of Europe, which is spread out over the course of the list). Of the Canadian and US systems, I'd argue that the US ranking is more impressive because they service 10 times as many people (and no, population is not taken into account by these rankings, hence Monaco being near the top of the list).
