I've never seen any reply to the points raised in that post.

You must not have looked for alternate views because they certainly exist. Or maybe you skipped over them because you disagreed with them. I think you demonstrate my earlier point. We tend to seek out and read sites that confirm our own biases.

The other side just takes the study, looks at the poor ranking for the US, and then says "see US health care is bad, we should go to a single payer systems

The ranking of the U.S. is irrelevant and not mentioned in the articles I have read supporting the WHO report.

Here is one such commentary. (You have to register to read it.)

I have read your post and am uncertain as to why you consider the WHO biased. I can only infer that it is for ideological reasons.
