influence of federalism.

Rural health and health care in Canada and the United States is compared by employing five conceptual lenses of federalism; the structure of federations, the sociological underpinnings of federations, political economy, political parties and constitutional reform and judicial
review (Burgess 2006). Despite differences in their political and
health systems, the analysis shows that Canada and the United States have very similar rural health problems and similar public responses. The evidence points to the sociological and political economy lenses as being the most instructive in understanding how federalism influences rural health in both countries. Key factors shaping health and health care in the two counties include: urban/rural cleavages, demographics, struggling rural economies, rural health economics and fiscal federalism
