The US spends the most per-person on health care out of all major countires, (only the Marshall Islands beats it to the number 1 spot) with 15% of GDP spent on healthcare.
Yet the WHO ranked it 37th last time it assessed worldwide healthcare systems.
Contrast that the UK, which is only 41st in spending with only 8% of GDP spent, but come 18th in the ranking, well ahead of hte US.
The top ranking goes to France, which spends 11% of GDP (10th highest), giving it the top spot.
The number 2 spot is held by Italy, which is 27th in spending, at about 9% of GDP.
If Universal healthcare is so inefficient, and private healthcare so efficient, why is it that the WHO ranks the US so shit compared to it's spending, but countries with universal healthcare do far better than their amount of spending is?
