I'd be interested in how the ranking was conducted. I suspect it's based on the level of care available to the average Medicaid patient, rather than the level of care available to somebody who can afford a good insurance plan, or pay cash for the best available.
I’m sure if someone wanted to go into the analysis of this data, they could. But, I don’t think it would be worthwhile for any individual here to go into it — because — with this listing having been out for about 10 years... (and this is the latest data that I could find on it) — I’m sure that others (who are probably very qualified to do so) have analyzed this up one side and down the other.
So..., I would just recommend going out and finding someone else’s good analysis of the data. I haven’t done that, but if I spent enough time on it, I’m sure I could come up with something. I just did a quick search for general information on health care in different countries and this is what popped up.
I’m sure there must be other FReepers who are in the medical profession and have known about this data for a long time and can provide a source for the analysis of this data and listing.
