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

For the Financial Fairness, yes we already addressed this. What's the point of having great healthcare if only a few people are able to pay for it? Or even worse, if they do get treated the poorer are only put under much greater strain under depth, causing long-term stress, and so on and so forth. Ultimately the poorer end up with debt, chronic stress, and overall they end up a lot worse situation than the rich after the treatment. It's a thoroughly valid statistic.

 

 

The problem is what you think "better" is. To me, when I see a country ranking based on healthcare, I expect someone getting treated in a country ranked 10th, to get better treatment then someone in a country ranked 20th.

Using that statistic to rank countries, means this is not the case. 

 

 

By your logic, North Korea has one of the best health care systems, because Kim Jong-Il will certainly get better treatment then some (if not all) of the people in the Number 1 country on the list.

 

Won't happen though, because this list shows the average of the people living in one country.
