The only country that matters in country comparison for anything is the U.S. This has always been the problem in Canada we compare our health care to the US (one of the few OECD countries worse than us) and then congratulate ourselves on how well we are doing when we actually are not. As someone who has experienced both doctors care and hospital stays both side of the Atlantic I can tell you without a doubt Canadian healthcare comes in severely wanting when compared to other developed countries.
