Healthcare isn't a business, it's peoples lives

Vlad... i've already explained why that ranking is flawed in this thread. You just... kinda ignored it.

One of the main 5 factors is "Fairness of distribution" which is a measure of unviersal healthcare.

So... yeah Universal Healthcre is going to have an advantage when "Universal Healthcare" is one of the main factors.

 

Something to note from that report.

The United States ranks #1 in responsivness... and between 3-38 in the "Fairness" of responsiveness.  3-38 being too close to call.

It's really the most important thing on that list.  Since things such as "Healthiness" (which the US still ranks pretty well in) are largely going to be affected by obesisty, culture (women constantly being told their fat) and the fact that health was judged by asking people how healthy they feel.

 

How is that a wrong statistic? Isn't the fact that as many people as possible are getting taken care of, in one way or another, a sign of a good health system? If you have the best doctors, most advanced thech, EVERYTHING, what would it matter if only 1 million out of 300million could access it? That's quite a shitty health system.

That statistic is quite valid in the study. If you don't like it change your health system.

Edit: FINALLY people who read the documents.

Edit2: Forgot to address your 2nd point. How is responsiveness the most important factor? It's a mix between respect for persons (privvacy) and orienting the client in the right direction. Yeah I can tell someone "there is this magic cure, it cures EVERYTHING you should get it!" Then when he goes to get it he notices it costs 100k a month to use.
