The world health organisation... I think they may know a little bit about health http://www.photius.com/rankings/healthranks.html
I believe that is what they call PWNED |
Apparently the WHO admits that they can't verify these rankings accurately due to the complexity of this issue.
"The World Health Organization's ranking of the world's health systems was last produced in 2000, and the WHO no longer produces such a ranking table, because of the complexity of the task."
Way to link almost a nine year old list and pass it off as the current conditions and then on top of that, the people who did produce list essentially admit that they cannot make another list due to how complicated it is to create.
Several other glorious factors to include in this list? What are the criteria used to measure various health care systems?
- Overall Level of Health: (Think this is a tad subjective? Especially in America where many of the 'Health issues' are not Healthcare related at all but lifestyle/choice related).
Distribution of Financing:
Fairness of financial contribution:
Distribution of Health in the Populations:
- Responsiveness: (Not surprisingly America comes in at the top of this list. When it comes to medical emergencies? There is only one country I want to be taken care of ).
After looking over some of them, several which are premised with socialistic ideals in the first place. The others are subjective in nature and absolutely impossible to place the burden on the health care system individually.
