Yes, you are right, Bobert. I used the wrong terminology. It is pretty astounding that the country which spends the largest percentage of its yearly budget in the entire world, 17% on health care!, ranks 37th in the quality of health care given. What that indicates is that there's something terribly wrong with that health care system and that your public is being ripped off.

Here is a color chart which shows at a glance the comparative level of quality of health care in nations across the world:

quality of health care around the globe

It ranges from the best (dark blue) to the worst (red). As can easily be seen, France, Spain, Italy, Austria, Greece, Saudi Arabia (surprise!), and Japan have the best health care. The worst are mostly countries in southern Africa (no surprise there). The USA is about at the same level as much of Latin America, although Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, and Cuba are all somewhat better, as is Canada.
