• I don't dispute that the USA was ranked 37th out of 191 countries for its healthcare provision. However, the last report that included rankings was in June 2000:

  And here is the current WHO report, which has no rankings

  I just asked you to provide a link to prove that there was a more recent report than 2000 and that it included the expression, "the U.S.A had one of the worst health systems in the world."
   
  In my experience official reports tend to avoid such emotive expressions, and 37th out of 191 isn't exactly among the worst.
