摘要：

The U.S. media dwell on what they perceive as the shortcomings of the Canadian health care system, and minimize the advantages of providing free medical care for all. Focusing on specialization and high-tech treatments as the most important measure of health care quality, the media overlook the importance of greater access to medical care in promoting health. At the same time, the U.S. media are reluctant to cite the higher infant mortality rates and lower life expectancy rates in the United States compared with Canada.
