what a load of absolute nonsense. there is no objective evidence whatsoever to judge the american health care system the best. america excels at certain specialty procedures for sure. but on the whole, the evidence suggests the the system, while costing 2 trillion dollars a year and multiples of most other nations systems, lags far behind in performance and outcomes anyone who says otherwise simply is ignorant of the copious research showing this There is no such "copious" research, and in fact, there is no credible study that suggests the American system "lags" behind ANYONE. Please don't trot out the bogus, discredited WHO report again. I would agree there is no objective ranking showing American health care to be the best, but the reason is there are no objective rankings. The only real rankings available are anything BUT objective -- designed, similarly to the WHO, to produce a desired result. America leads the world in diagnostic imaging. The majority of new drug research the world over happens where? USA. In America any person who walks in a county hospital is guaranteed the best treatment that facility can deliver, regardless of their class or status. And 95% of Americans either have health insurance or could have health insurance and has chosen not to. These are very compelling facts. But here are some that even more compelling: Message 25553551 What you have is a discredited WHO organization study.
