Ok if your source is this article stating that the world health organization did a survey and we ranked 37th. I am not surprised. “Seven years ago, the World Health Organization made the first major effort to rank the health systems of 191 nations. France and Italy took the top two spots; the United States was a dismal 37th. More recently, the highly regarded Commonwealth Fund has pioneered in comparing the United States with other advanced nations through surveys of patients and doctors and analysis of other data. Its latest report, issued in May, ranked the United States last or next-to-last compared with five other nations — Australia, Canada, Germany, New Zealand and the United Kingdom — on most measures of performance, including quality of care and access to it. Other comparative studies also put the United States in a relatively bad light”. What criteria did they use to set this ranking I would like to see that info before I am sold that our health care is that bad. Because with a lot of statistics the margin between #1 and # 37 is not that great.
