Canadians lead longer, healthier lives than Americans

Compared to their neighbours south of the border, Canadians live longer,
healthier lives. Research published in BioMed Central's open access
journal Population Health Metrics has found this disparity between the
two countries, suggesting that America's lack of universal health care
and lower levels of social and economic equality are to blame.

Probably true but for the assumption it is health care.

Fewer Canadians can afford drugs, weed, booze and smokes.

any proof? what's the purchasing power parity of canada vs the US?
it's a simple measure. what is it?

Lower wages,
higher gasoline costs and higher taxes make us walk more.

again, where's the proof? the canadian dollar has appreciated 25%
against the US dollar because your govt regulated the free market and
ours didnt.

Yep. Start with: http://www.fraserinstitute.org/tools/Default.htm

On that web site somewhere they have a financial freedom list of all US
atates and Canadian provinces. Of the 10 Canadian provinces, we hold
the 9 bottom positions and the 10th province is much higher.

But I am not going to waste the time on you to find the exact link. You
probably wouldn't use it anyways.

actually try he

http://fx.sauder.ubc.ca/PPP.html

for the latest info. your own universities show the US dollar is
undervalue by about 14%.

problem is, we already spend 17% of our GDP on health vs 10% for you
guys. so even if we reach parity you will STILL be spending less on
healthcare than we do for a system that is more efficient

try again, right winger.

financial freedom is irrelevant. the relevant measure is PPP.

Canada has an appreciating dollar because of excess debt spending by the
USA. Plus they are a major energy exporter these days.

They probably had a bunch of the bad debt also. Or the Loonie would be
a lot higher.
