Study Says Better Healthcare North of the Border

Doctor Steffie Woolhandler of the Cambridge Health Alliance is a co-author of the study. She is also with a group that is pushing for a national, publicly funded healthcare system in the U.S.

In a conversation with Delores Handy, Woolhandler said Canadians fared better, when researchers compared overall health.
