It isn't necessarily informative to compare cancer outcomes between different regions as an indicator of overall health care quality without also comparing cost. Any guesses on which system costs more and by how much (US spending as a percentage of GDP was 158% of Canada's in 2007)?

An interesting question would be how much more effective a Canadian type system would be if it were to spend the kind of money the US spends.
