It's percent of their income that people pay. Yes, if an household pays an extraordinary amount while another doesn,t one is more likely to go into debt, stress, etc. More importantly, if that's the case the one with lower income may reserve going to a doctor for a checkup that could be potentially fatal. Overall it discourages the poor from going to the hospital when maybe they should have. THis is also a report on the system as a whole.

Which is... impossible.

You can't make a ranking system between 1 and whatever if your trying to measure multiple different variables.

It's statistical stupidtity.  Anyone who's had a class in statistics can tell you that.  You need to keep what your measuring simple... and it being one measurement.

It's likely why the WHO doesn't do it anymore.

Are you seriously trying to claim that it is impossible to do a legitimate statistical analysis when you consider more than one factor?  And that it isn't at all relevant to look at the effect multiple factors have?

That's like saying that because GM's workers are paid well that the company is successful.  It makes absolutely no sense.

 

The factors are compeltly unrelated.

It's like trying to judge which car is the best by taking into account saftey, number of cupholders, price, relability and how cool it looks.

The factors have little to nothing in common.  Making a direct "1-50 best" ranking completly idiotic... espiecally with no weighting.
