Health Care: U.S. vs. Canada

On March 11, 2014, several authorities on single payer health care
systems of other nations testified before a committee of the United
States Senate, chaired by Sen. Bernie Sanders. The hearing was not only
the topic of a recent Quote of the Day (March 12), it also has been
covered extensively in the media and on the Internet throughout the
United States and Canada.

It was the responses of Dr. Danielle Martin of Canada to the questions
from Committee Ranking Member Sen. Richard Burr, that caused this story
to go viral. For those who missed it, the 7 minute segment that includes
the exchange between Dr. Martin and Sen. Burr can be viewed at this
