>> One clear problem with WHOs methodology is that it gives major weight to "health care equality", note this is not the same as measuring the level of care for the worst off and giving it more weight, if that was what you measure then improvements for the better off wouldn't hurt that measure, its measuring the difference, and considering a big difference to be bad. This point is particularly annoying since almost everyone in the US can get "health care" although many more don't have "health insurance" -- it is the same tired theme, equating "health care" with "health insurance".
