“…U.S. newspaper reports of public debates and policy decisions concerning the health system in Canada are, in all likelihood, selective. In the end, the conclusions drawn are not always fair or evidenced-based (Rosenau 2005).…”

To assess newspaper coverage of the Canadian health system, thirty-four U.S. and Canadian health policy experts rated the neutrality of the headlines drawn from all major news stories in The New York Times ( NYT) and The Wall Street Journal ( WSJ) during a five-year period, excluding opinion pieces and editorials. Coverage of the Canadian health system by the WSJ and NYT was judged as overwhelmingly negative by our sample of policy experts. But the judgments of some of them differed depending on whether they were Canadian or American. Canadian experts were more likely than those from the United States to assess coverage as negative, especially for NYT articles. Conversely, U.S. policy experts more frequently judged NYT headlines as favorable, relative to their Canadian counterparts. Experts' reactions to newspaper coverage of the Canadian health system appear to depend on national identity to some extent. Possible explanations for press negativity are examined.

“…Academic and popular literature is often characterized by opinion, folklore, misinformation, and stereotypes (Rosenau 2006). Some scholars posit that the differences between Canada and the U.S. are large and that the two countries are as unlike as “Fire and Ice” (Adams 2003), although such research often lacks analytical rigor, relies extensively on quotes from Updike or De Tocqueville, and focuses on a narrow set of opinions or consumption patterns (Smith 2005).…”

Objective Some research suggests that social, political, and cultural life in the U.S. and Canada are growing divergent. We use health lifestyle theories to extend prior research and compare the U.S. and Canada on population health indicators. Methods The population health indicators include health behaviors, fertility, and cause-specific mortality for each of the United States (and Washington D.C.), and Canadian Provinces and Territories (N=64). Results Canada and the U.S. are significantly different on many health lifestyle variables. But, levels of the health lifestyle variables converge at the U.S./Canada border, and some U.S. States and Canadian Provinces or Territories exhibit similar health lifestyle patterns, regardless of whether they share an international border (these are mapped in the paper). Conclusions Although Canada and the U.S. differ on major population health indicators, some States, Provinces, and Territories exhibit marked similarities. Our paper concludes with a discussion about how our comparative perspective might inform population health policies.
