TORONTO -- A new report has ranked Canada's health system second last, ahead of the United States, among high-income countries., ranked 11 high-income countries on key health-system measures, including equity, access to care, affordability, health-care outcomes, and administrative efficiency.
In addition to its overall ranking, the study noted that the U.S. ranks last on access to care, administrative efficiency, equity, and health-care outcomes, but second for preventative care processes, such as screenings and vaccinations. "Compared to the other countries, the United States and Canada had larger income-related inequities in patient reported experiences," the study noted.
