AnnotationCross-national comparisons of healthcare systems can help us to better understand them, and to offer possible solutions for problems identified within these jurisdictions. The situation in three countries with markedly different systems is examined and comparisons made. Whereas Canada has an almost fully socialised system, market forces in the United States (US) are allowed the freest rein in any developed nation. Israel offers an intermediate model with elements common to both the US and Canadian systems. This international comparison offers insights for policy makers in these three countries in particular and other countries in general. (RH).
