I think I may have lost track of the point here. Are you claiming that 95% does not qualify as "almost all" and that that disconnect is critical to the argument? His statement was that 95% of Americans get the world's best health care. Now if you have cancer and you can go to MD Anderson or the Cleveland Clinic then yes, you may very well be getting the "world's best health care". But if you go to Peoria General Hospital then it's likely there are dozens of better facilities in other countries. And 95% of US cancer patients don't get to go to MD Anderson or the Cleveland Clinic... so they are not getting the "best health care in the world".
