I don't really know how to respond to a 10-year old study, particularly given that Canadian health care has only recently been determined to have been a failure.

But more significantly, I don't think it is sensible way to look at the problem. There are simply too many fundamental differences between the CA and US systems that would affect the issue yet not be either a cause or a result of the systems.

A more sensible approach, to me, is to compare Medicare with private insurance in the US, which has been done, and I seem to recall the per-capita administrative costs for Medicare are 30% higher than for private insurance in the US.
