Canada has one of the world's best health care system. If the government were to make the whole country's health care system identical to the one in the USA I think such a change would bring great disturbances in the normals lives of people in Canada.
Canada has free healthcare, so if this were to change, many people would go to the doctor less. For example, if someone has a cold, they might go to the doctor and if they have a fever, they will definitely go to the doctor, if the healthcare system were to change, people wouldn't go to the doctor even in the case of a fever. Also for some life threatening conditions or illnesses that need advanced medical attention, some people will have to struggle to get enough money to be able to pay for those circumstances.
Studies say that 40% of people in the US don't have adequate health insurance and in Canada, 5% of the people can't find a regular doctor and 9% never looked for one. Although the numbers for Canada are quite shocking, the people who can't find a regular doctor are covered by the national health care system . Also, many people in the US don't have adequate health insurance.
In general the health of the people in Canada is much better then of the people in the USA because statistics have shown that Canadians have a higher life expectancy then the people in USA.
