THE UNITED STATES HAS THE BEST HEALTH CARE IN THE WORLD
Written by John Moore/Getty Images
The lie: The United States has the best health care in the world.
The liars: A slew of U.S. presidents, politicians, journalists, commentators, and everyday citizens
The debunking: There is one yardstick by which U.S. health care distinguishes itself: cost. The United States spends more — in total dollars, percentage of GDP, and per capita — than every other country on Earth.
On virtually every other broad metric, the claim that U.S. health care stands for global excellence is demonstrably false. The United States doesn’t take a top spot in either the World Health Organization or nonpartisan Commonwealth Fund rankings. The American health-care system is not best in terms of coverage, access, patient safety, efficiency, or cost-effectiveness. It does not produce the best outcomes for diseases such as cancer, heart disease, or diabetes; for the elderly, the middle-aged, or the young; or in terms of life expectancy, rates of chronic diseases, or obesity.
Which countries do come out on top? Often — France, Switzerland, Britain, Canada, and Japan. On the World Health Organization’s list, the United States comes out 37th.

To see the above about the quality of health care in the USA and to see that the USA comes out 37th in health care is unbelievable. I bet you all that Cuba has Higher Quality Health Care than the USA!!
Can anyone explain to me how the US citizens are so ignorance and so misinformed about such matters in every single issue (in the above information).

It just goes to show that money cannot buy you good health, unless you spend it more wisely on getting more healthy in the first place, if you know what I mean.
