Funding public health insurance plans Canada and globally / : Financement des régimes publics d'assurance-maladie au Canada et à l'échelle mondiale

Most countries, especially the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) nations, have some version of public health insurance. Their current funding and delivery models are largely the result of their own history. Some Nordic countries have had some form of public health insurance for over 200 years while others have relatively new programs. This report briefly looks at the actual health care funding models and metrics in seven countries (Canada, Sweden, France, Germany, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States) along with health care metrics for another 13 countries (20 OECD countries in total).
