Healthcare in Canada and the United States: A Brief Comparative Analysis

from Public Health Insight · host PHI Productions

The United States of America’s multi-payer privatized healthcare system is drastically different from Canada’s universal single-payer healthcare system, but why does the U.S spend more on healthcare as a percentage of GDP compared to Canada? Rose Marcelin joins the Public Health Insight Podcast to discuss the nuances of these distinct healthcare systems and the importance of accessibility, affordability, and equality in determining healthcare quality and ultimately population health outcomes.If you enjoyed the episode, follow us on your podcast platform of choice and also follow us on social media: Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.
