[quote=Anonymous]These indices compare countries that vary enormously by size. When one leaves out countries under 25 million, though still small vis-a-vis the U.S., the U.S. ranks quite high. In addition, having a national health care system tends to be rated very heavily in these indices, regardless of what the outcomes of that system are, and the U.S. does not have one. Educational performance in grades K-12 also tends to be weighted very heavily and U.S. performance on the international tests is lackluster.[/quote]
