"But this is just a sample; there's virtually no metric in which the US health care system provides better care than those of other countries, other than in care for the very rich. The reality is that the average person in the US receives mediocre care that is extremely expensive."

I'll bet I have one metric in which we are number one. Cost of the bureaucracy, from gvt/ins/HMO to hospitals and doctors' offices. Lots of non-patient care jobs have been created so that some shmuck with a HS diploma can tell the doc his patient doesn't need an operation. Way too many rump sitters.
