Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fact that Americans are not as healthy as Canadians or Japanese can be attributed to the large population of poor people in the United States. Poverty is known to have a negative impact on health outcomes, and the United States has a higher poverty rate than both Canada and Japan. Therefore, even with a higher spending on healthcare, Americans may not be able to enjoy better health outcomes due to economic disparities.
