That may be true; what are you basing this view on? How do you evaluate those three criteria?


I explained in my original post. The fact the UK government spends less than the US government on healthcare per-capita, despite the fact it gives everyone healthcare rather than just a subset of the population is pretty damning. How can anyone possibly argue the US system is working more efficiently given that?

Every other developed nation?


It seems that it's not as clear to me, so could you please explain how one should evaluate those criteria?


The most obvious criteria is cost per citizen. The US has, by far, the highest cost per citizen. And also the lowest quality care.
