I reject this argument.  The basis for the report is on shaky ground.  For example, cancer can be genetically related.  Other countries with lower instances of genetic cancers would have a better rank.   How is this related to the system behind health care?  It isn't.  Same with diabetes and cardiovascular disease.


Further many cases of cancer and such, are directly related to when the patient seeks help.  Many refuse to do so until it is too late to treat.   It's not because of the type of health care available.


Finely, it's a known fact that Americans typically are less healthy than many other nations.  Other nations where the population is more healthy, more active, and eats better foods, has a better rank... is it possible that it is less due to the health care system, than due to better more healthy life styles?  I say it is.


Lastly, maybe you don't know this, but that socialist system in France is using drugs, surgical procedures, and medical equipment, that was researched and developed here in our greedy American Health Care system.  Their system would be crap if not for us.
