Disaggregate the results to find that we are merely insufficiently socialist in their opinion.
How many illegal Mexican aliens pour over the border into Switzerland?
Figures never lie, but liars figure.
WOW. You would think there are bodies lining the streets stacked like fire wood. The fact is NO ONE is denied care, unless you are in the VA system.
This study just wants to point out that it’s not “free” here in the USA. And Obamacare does ZERO to fix the health care costs and expand coverage. All it did was expand coverage to expensive useless crony health insurance that is now required by force of law.
This study is the same as Eric Holder investigating the DOJ and concluding, “nothing to see here folks, everything is just great.”

The truth is before the 1970's when the federal government began meddling into healthcare, our healthcare was affordable and the best in the world. It still is the best in the world, but as usual, government interference has created cost problems.
The answer, of course, is to nuke socialism, and let our healthcare (and the rest of our economy) be run by the voluntary the free market economy which will provide competitive prices and quality and maximum supply, easily the best in the world.
Another couple of years with Obamacare, and the US won’t make the chart. Mexico will bump us out.
The UK is rated #1, yet there are stories there every week of patients lying dead on gurneys for days in hospital hallways w/o anyone noticing, patients calling family for food & water, & patients in pain pulling their own teeth for lack of a timely appointment.
I have never heard of such poor treatment in the US.
This report derives from a 2012 WHO report.
In much of Europe, a baby who dies before 3 days after birth is counted as “stillborn”. Think that might affect the numbers?
What is the cost for a hospital stay for a crack-addicted mother who arrives at the emergency room in labor in, say Saudi Arabia versus the US. Because KSAs’ numbers are better than the US for maternal mortality.
A crack-addicted woman arriving at a KSA hospital would undergo the application of either a sword decapitating her or in some cases an AK-47 bullet to the head. That’s free, or maybe 13 cents.
In the US, such a delivery could easily cost $1 million, including post-natal care. Because care cannot be refused.
Dozens and dozens of these types of factors affect the outcomes.
Funny. Canadians with mondy pick the US.
The Editor-in-Chief of Sciencerecorder.com is an individual named "Kramer Phillips." Mr. Phillips does not have a Wiki page. I did find this, however:

This thread needs updating.
Kramer Phillips has operated many sites for the purpose of spamming Google News science section, starting with the State Column:

Then the Bunsen Burner:
http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!searchin/news/bunsen$20burner/news/99-fEdhiETc/hWKcUHR_kTAJ
And The Petri Dish etc etc. These days rather than republishing articles many times on one site, he operates several sites at once to give him more time in the spotlight. At the moment he's using:
thespacereporter.com
ScienceRecorder.com
natmonitor.com
And he's brought back the State Column but with a different address statecolumn.com
And no doubt even more sites soon.
Same as before he says he has a large staff of writers, most probably all of them are made up - they are the only journalists ever who have no Twitter accounts or blogs or websites . Every article has a large number of faked Facebook likes as soon as it is published - all the old Kramer tricks. To be fair his stuff is no worse than many of the semi-literate SEO sites you find on GN.
He's calling his two-man-band operation KPR Media these days. 0 0
The biggest problem with our health care isn’t our healthcare, it’s our diet. Which sucks.
And the purported “healthy” diet that our public health practitioners have been pushing on us for the last forty years. Which is worse.
Damned-near everyone is sick, because there’s no profit in healthy people. And they’re sick from eating processed industrial food-like substances, because there’s no profit in real food.
And ANYONE who thinks that health care is better in the UK hasn’t bothered to read any news from there. Even Canadians come across the border to get care because of their doctor shortages. What a joke piece of ‘research’
I’ll go to Japan before I’d ever remotely consider the UK
