<<<We need to know whether the twin who has access to a Canadian-type system has a better chance than the twin who has access to a US-type system. Only then will longevity info be useful>>> IMO the difference will be negligible. I also think that there is probably sufficient data to prove that. The difference will fall between a statistical margin of error. The significant difference will be in what happens to the twin living in the United States that has a 15% chance of not been insured. The Canadian twin will be covered by Canada's universal health care coverage. I would think that there is sufficient data to prove that the Canadian twin has a better chance of living longer.
