Any ranking system you care to quote doesn't put us in the top 20 regardless of the date.



oh snap waldo! You're welcome! But really, again... this says diddly about Canada's healthcare constraints, limitations, areas for improvement, etc., etc., etc.! And like a junkyard dog, the waldo will keep insisting that respective party health care related election pledges need to be stated, reviewed, analyzed, critiqued on their merits or lack therein. It's a fool's errand to attempt to look at other countries on a ranking number only and make a correlation back to particulars within the Canadian health care system!

If you look at the countries that out perform us, all have national systems rather than our Balkanized provincial setup which results in a lot of expensive duplication in many areas.

as a timely reminder, I've re-quoted the prior challenge you put forward about Canada not even being in the 'top 20'. But really, are you sure you want to, once again, make your broad country rank comparisons without considerations toward referencing real comparative in-depth analysis, ranking criteria, related data, etc.? Last time you tried this the waldo busted your bubble, hey; again:

I'm shocked you didn't acknowledge I busted your 'top 20' challenge!

The three ranked above us have mixed systems. Swedes are allowed to pay for private care.

these are meaningless statements in the broader context of analyzing 2-tier within the Canadian health care system - again, there are representative examples right here in Canada, yet for some reason you're fixated on country comparison by a single rank number - meaningless without in-depth analysis, ranking criteria, related data, etc., etc., etc.!

but hey, since it was an easy googly - the role of private health insurance in Sweden:

Quote
Private health insurance, in the form of supplementary coverage, accounts for less than 1% of health expenditures. It is purchased mainly by employers and is used primarily to guarantee quick access to an ambulatory care specialist and to avoid wait lists for elective treatment. In 2017 Sweden's population was approximately 10 million; of which 633,000 individuals had private insurance, representing roughly 13% of all employed individuals ages 16 to 64 years.
