NHS means British healthcare rated top out of 11 western countries, with US coming last
by Irn Bru Wed Jun 18, 2014 7:11 pm
Britain’s healthcare has been lauded as the best out of 11 of the world’s wealthiest countries, following a far-reaching study by a US-based foundation.
In a report entitled “Mirror, Mirror on the Wall,” the quality, efficiency, cost and performance of the US health system was compared to Canada and nine other countries in Europe and Australasia.
Conducted by The Commonwealth Fund, the report ranks the UK first overall, scoring it highly for its quality of care, efficiency and low cost at the point of service, with Switzerland coming an overall second.
The US came last, as it has done in four other editions of “Mirror, Mirror” since 2004.
The full list of countries analysed in the study - published yesterday - were: New Zealand, Australia, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Canada, Britain and the US.
“The most notable way the US differs from other industrialised countries is the absence of universal health insurance coverage,” which is available in five other nations, the publication states.
It says that despite being the most expensive health care system in the world, the US continually underachieves “on most dimensions of performance.”

As if we didn't know that already and one in the eye for that clown Dan Hannan who went over to the US and ran it down on Fox News and anywhere else who would listen to him.

Despite the evidence they will bang on regardless and flog off as much as they can. It's the Tory way to reward all the backers that provided them with all the money to run their campaign to get elected.
Here's the actual report itself...
