In the latest U.N. World Health Organization WHO ranking of countries, the U.S. does poorly. This has been used as an argument for a massive overhaul of this country’s present health insurance industry.
However, look at the report closely because of the terms used in the study. The latter represents what has become a typical U.N. report these days. That is, present an anti-American bias whenever possible.
Read carefully and you note the study points up only the difference between universal coverage and actual care or responsive care.
It thus becomes easy to see the difference the terms signify. Look at health care in Canada, Great Britain and France with universal coverage. A law on the books or government promise to cover a citizen with health benefits does not mean everyone will get TIMELY or ADEQUATE personal attention and care when necessary.
The U. S. still has the best health care in the world, though it can be tweaked to be made better.
