How come? Because the WHO report is fraudulent. "How fairly" health care is distributed is BS. Jane Fonda can afford plastic surgery, the cashier at WalMart can't. That's unfair. Bill Gates can buy a heart transplant, a homeless guy can't. That's unfair. Too bad I can't add whine marks, but I don't know how.

Here's another example of how WHO's data is bogus. WHO claims that life expectancy in the United States ranks 24th in the world, based on their calculation that men live to an average age of 67.5 and women to an average age of 72.6. Does that sound right to you? It's not. Here's the real data: Life expectancy at birth: total population: 76.23 years male: 72.95 years female: 79.67 years (1999 est.) That makes the United States the longest-lived nation on earth. But that fact is inconvenient, isn't it? We can't point the finger at United States health care based on our wonderful longevity, so the statistics mysteriously morph. www-nt.who.int odci.gov math.up.edu cdc.gov
