Your both missing the point. let's put it another way.

Let's say you traveled the world, and ranked treatment yourself. You had a scale of 1 to 100 as what the best experience in a hospital was. Let's say you were to go to Costa Rica, and of all the hospitals in the world, you ranked them at a 20 and everyone in that country got the same healthcare.

Now you come to the US, and the worst treatment (someone with no health insurance) you ranked as a 40, and the best medical care, you ranked as a 90.

The worst person in the US got twice a good of healthcare then the Costa Rican people, but on that list, Costa Rica will get a higher score because they all got the same shitty care.

That's not how it should work in my opinion.

 

In this very point you are right, but just if you assume, that everybody really gets that health care. If people don't, then I must ask you how you would wage every death, because of not getting the proper treatment needed for money reasons. If a serious illness is on the way to take your life and the 20% standard would safe you, your choice would be obvious.

 

By the way: I know not one country except for Cuba on that list, which doesn't have a private medical sector as well. So your assumption that everybody's getting the same treatment is wrong anyway.

I hope you'll tell us what each graph means in particular
