[QUOTE="ThatRobGuy, post: 68411014, member: 123415"] There are other logistics at play. According to the W.H.O in a study they did that evaluated; Health, Responsiveness, and Fair Financial contribution... France is #1 in the world in terms of healthcare The US is #37 Here's some key pieces of info to keep in mind when considering this. The more concentrated a population is, the easier and more efficiently you can provide centralized services (and easy access to them). France has population of 66 million, in a area of 247,368 mi² The US has 318 million, spread out over an area of 3.806 million mi² Or, in other words, we have 5 times the people, spread out over 15 times the area...the fact that they're 3x as concentrated definitely gives them an advantage. They have a very manageable population size, concentrated into a reasonable sized land mass. UK, which also has a similar population/landmass makeup is also highly ranked. Proof of that is Canada...while they have a healthcare model that very closely resembles France's...in terms of their ranking, they're #30...not that far ahead of us. The top 20 ranked countries do all share a common attribute, universal healthcare...so obviously a person would be foolish to attempt to deny that having such a program is a factor. However, given the large number countries that do have the programs who are close to us on the ranking scale, it's also very apparent that universal healthcare isn't the [I]only [/I]factor in deciding whether or not a country will have a successful system of healthcare. (For example, Finland, Denmark, and Australia are all ranked in the 30's like us) [/QUOTE]
