I see that source produces a lot lower medical mistakes than you've claimed in the past. However, it still doesn't say anything about how our system compares to others or whether health care reform would reduce errors.

That source says this:

" these total up to 225,000 deaths per year in the US from iatrogenic causes which ranks these deaths as the # 3 killer. Iatrogenic is a term used when a patient dies as a direct result of treatments by a physician, whether it is from misdiagnosis of the ailment or from adverse drug reactions used to treat the illness. (drug reactions are the most common cause)."
