Not Ranked
WHO ACCEPTS WHATEVER statistics a country reports to them. [along with the funding check!] Have every country report their health stats the EXACT same way that our NON-Government AMA does and we would be far and away the EASY winner. Just one phase of the WHO's report should explain all. They HEAVILY weigh their rankings on "FAIRNESS" of health care. Well ours isn't the fairest, the rich do get better care. AND ALWAYS WILL, everywhere, but in other, socialized medicine, countries it "officially" doesn't happen.[/quote]
The statistics out there are provided by the AMA and even our own CIA and we are ranked 37th and the infant mortality rate is 50th, we are not the best! Now don't get me wrong or get your panties in a wad, we have the best in the world if you can afford it, so there is a great inequity in our country, I'm not saying that everyone should get what the wealthiest people can buy, of course not, but they should get basic care. Actually the highest rated system in the world is ours, it's the Tri care system for our military, and the VA is ranked 2nd, guess what folks it's government run! you know socialized medicine.
And by the way it's not free for those that can't afford it, those that have insurance pay it, it's costing us about $1,100 a year in our premiums to pay for them, there is no free lunch.
