These rankings are highly dependent on who is writing the rules and selecting the criteria. For example, I could say the criteria is the biggest system, the best surgeons, the most MRI machines per capita, and I could go on and on and the USA would be number 1 or very high in all of them. If you make the criteria stuff like percent of people with health insurance, or ratio of health care dollars to defense dollars per capita, then the USA falls well down.

You were saying ...

Oh yeah, I can imagine that some people can take some of that raw data and twist it around..., and if that is what has been done -- I can also imagine that someone else has taken the data and presented it correctly.

So, I would be happy to see how they have done that with the data. And I know if anyone can come up with that kind of ranking and listing of the various countries from that kind of data -- that certainly a FReeper here can do that.

I guess we'll wait for that FReeper to come along and reference that other ranking for the countries and what data was used.

In the meantime, this is the only one I know of.
