That's kind of the reason why there are several factors on the list, so that no one factor throws off the balance.

Its like saying, "Man, this car has great seat belts! It must be the safest care ever!" But if it can't withstand a collision, it is not very safe. Gauging anything by just one factor gives you a bad idea of what the quality of that thing really is.

 

But what is this factor telling you about healthcare?

Nothing. Only that it's less "fair" in one country over another. That has nothing to do with the quality of healthcare with respect to other locations around the world.

It's a pointless factor when ranking countries.

If I want to look at a list, and pick the country that has the best healthcare, that list does not provide it, so what's the list for?

I believe it says "Health System' right on  top of the page....

The statistic is a very important factor in a ntation's healthcare. As said before, what does it matter if it's good if only 5 people i a country of several million can get it? It doesn't and the country may as well have shitty health care.
