You can quibble about the WHO 'overall performance' criteria, but you can't avoid the facts: the US ranks below the OECD average in almost every objective health statistic except one - we have the highest cost. At the price we're paying for health care, public and private, Peter, you're right - the US should rank much higher. But we don't.
