Despite spending more on health care than most other high-income countries with universal coverage, Canada’s health system ranks poorly in comparison, having the longest wait times, with fewer doctors and hospital beds, and lagging behind on medical technologies, a new Fraser Institute study has found.
The study uses a “value for money” approach to compare the cost and performance of the universal health-care systems in 28 high-income countries, selected from the member states of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
