Health care
Canada
In Canada health care is received by a publicly-funded health care system. This health care program is mostly free and provided by the Canada Health Act. Therefore Canada's Health care is cost efficient and will cover all health problems with the least cost possible.
United States
In the United States everyone is obligated to have Obama Care. This is a program that President Obama passed. It obligates every citizen of the U.S. to have a health plan. Obama's intention was that if everyone did what was told to do, then the price of health care plans would decrease and be more cost efficient. But this isn't always true, some health care plans don't cover all the health problems and the prices for these plans can vary as well.
