[QUOTE="okcBob, post: 4137650, member: 45783"] Correct. I meant 30 trillion. add: However, I would caution about “quality” ratings for US healthcare being rated so low. Depending on who does them, these rankings are often designed in a way that favors more government control and are frequently used by progressives to call for a government provided single payer system. The WHO rankings for example are partly based in ideology. Their rankings index is based on 5 factors. One of the factors is called “Financial Fairness,” which composes 25% of the index. How is this an objective measure of health quality? Its not a clinical ranking. Another example is how infant mortality numbers bring down the US ranking. Even WHO acknowledges the method of calculating IMR varies widely between countries. While US adheres to the WHO definition of live birth, many other countries underreport the live births of babies who die shortly after birth, which improves their ranking. The best healthcare clinically speaking is here in the US, i wouldn't go anywhere else for a procedure. [/QUOTE]
