I know my American friends on this list would want to know about this study, so I'm happy to oblige.
http://tinyurl.com/Can-US-health-study What strikes me is that the difference is not particular impressive, although it does favour Canada (yet the authors themselves claim their work shows Canadians to be "substantially healthier" than Americans). And on the positive side, assuming that the authors are correct in attributing it partly to differences in health care systems, I have heard that you folks recently made some changes to yours. Hopefully, it'll help you get back those lost years of life.
