Seeking U.S. Health Care statistics

Hi - I'm looking for a study I read about recently that compares the U.S. health care system with others around the world. I seem to remember that we were ranked below Costa Rica and Morroco?

Can anyone help me out?

thanks!

1. Sure

You may be referring to the WHO study, in which we were 37th: http://www.who.int/whr/2000/en/index.html Costa Rica and Morroco were, indeed, ranked higher than us.

Basically, our health care costs twice as much as others do - and it's probably the worst in the developed world.

A recent thread in which I was involved that might be of interest: http://www.bluemassgroup.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=6237
