Share link: shortcanada. See also: shortcanadaplus and longcanada. The table below can be copied, adapted, and edited anywhere. I put it in the public domain. It can be copied to any wiki (Wikimedia, Wikia, Shoutwiki, etc.) easily since the wikitext only uses links with full URLs, and since no templates are used within the table. The table can even be copied to email since there is backup inline formatting within the table: border=1
rules=all
. For more info on the table, data, sources, etc. see: Canadian single-payer universal healthcare versus US healthcare.
