Trying to rank and grade health care systems across the globe is a very complex and difficult task. There are so many variables and no easy way to uniformly grade them. The World Health Organization was the last group to try this daunting task. Their reports have also been the weapon used against America’s health care system. There are two glaring deficiencies in Americas treatment according to WHO; Infant Mortality Rates and Life Expectancy. How is it possible that America ranks so low compared to the rest of the world in these categories? (more…)
