It hasn't been my impression that either one of them leads in any quality or access study. I suppose it can be done right - this study, if it says what the abstract implies, sounds good - but I've yet to see a large-scale system work well.

There are 24.6 million veterans in the US. There are 32,040,292 Canadians, and 59.2 million Brits. I don't think it's inappropriate to compare those systems.
It's a pretty large scale system, much larger than anything else in the US. Kaiser Permanente comes in second in terms of scope of services and payment, though BCBS leads the pack in total covered lives. It's not really a system, though, since it's pretty open.
