Both the US and Canada have federal, rather than unitary,
constitutions. In each country, legislative powers are divided
between two levels of government. However, the constitutions are
not identical and the powers granted to each federal government are
considerably different. Compare and contrast the roles of the two
federal governments in developing their respective health care
systems. Describe the health programs each federal government is
responsible for funding and/or administering as appropriate. Has
Canada’s constitution has made it easier, or more difficult, for
our federal government to shape our health care system, compared
with the role the US Constitution allocated to its federal
government?
