Logical fallacies: The paper assumes that cost of benefits and its proportion to administrative costs is a direct-line correlation.
Claims and evidence: The paper believes that overall costs of administration would go down if the US were to implement a Canadian-style health care system, thus increasing the funds available for care. They base this on an overall look at the rate of change for administratively-employed workers in both systems.
Author's tone: This is presented as a scholarly paper, so the tone is neutral, but shows a "bias" towards the stated claim.
Judgment: This paper seems to be relevant, as it provides needed statistics on the cost of care in two different systems, as well as comparisons to their overall breakdown and allocation of funds.
Evaluation: This article is a good source. While it does reach its own conclusion, it does so by the use of impartial statistics and citing other sources.
Forecast: This article will be used to bolster my assertion that the US needs a Canadian-style public health care system, and will be used to show the costs of care relative to other possible ideas beyond a capitalist model.
