The U.S. and Canadian health care systems are more similar than is commonly believed. This article debunks some of the powerful myths about these health care systems and opens up the discussion for greater policy learning from both sides of the border. Cross-border comparisons can yield a number of lessons from common policy challenges such as cost control, physician organization and payment, and the organization of health coverage and services for Native Americans and Indigenous Canadians.

Oriented System

This paper explores attitudes of university students towards two differently organised health services, ie the National Health Service in the UK and the more market oriented system in the US and analyses the level of confidence placed in primary care providers (GPs/family physicians) in both systems. Although major differences in the perception of the two health care systems are identified, hardly any differences emerge between the two countries in terms of the confidence patients place in their primary care providers.
