Joint Canada/United States Survey of Health
2002/03

Most Canadians and Americans report being in good to excellent health,

to health care services between the two nations. However, Canadians with
the lowest incomes were less likely to be in fair or poor health and less
likely to have reported severe mobility limitations than their American
counterparts.

Overall, the vast majority in both countries-88% of Canadians and 85% of
Americans-reported that they were in good, very good or excellent health in
2003.

Americans reported being at either end of the health status spectrum, that

poor health. ...
