\nHealthcare System Type: Universal healthcare system, similar to single-payer systems found in other developed countries like the UK. Healthcare is administered publicly and coverage is provided for all Canadian residents.
\nKey Health Indicators:
\nLife expectancy: 82.2 years (compared to 78.9 years in the US)
\nInfant mortality rate: 4.5 deaths per 1,000 live births (compared to 5.8 in the US)
\nHealthcare spending as % of GDP: 11.5% (compared to 17.1% in the US)

\nStrengths: Universal coverage ensures all residents have access to healthcare. Focus on primary\/preventative care helps control costs and promote public health.
