That doesn't really prove anything. Nobody has ever doubted that the absolute cream of the crop medical care is in the United States. The problem is that not everyone has access to that.
But I'm hard-pressed to think that the WHO reports are really interested in measuring the healthcare
system based on what a multi-millionaire/King/Health Minister can buy. The "system" is more than whether rich people can get the best health care.
If that's what we're debating here, then congratulations you win! The rich get great health care in the United States!!!!!!
And this, Dell, is the age-old gap between the two very different ways that we (meaning left and right -- and you and me, I guess -- at this point in time) view the world, and they're completely irreconcilable. You on the right care that you are taken care of and once that's done, everyone else can go f*ck themselves because you've already got yours and that's all that matters. We on the left think that there is something to the idea that everyone gets taken care of, and that it's not all about us as individuals being well-off because the better off we are as a group, the better off we are as individuals.
