[quote=Anonymous][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. [b]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. [/b] Educational performance in grades K-12 also tends to be weighted very heavily and U.S. performance on the international tests is lackluster.[/quote] What do you mean regardless of outcome? All is takes is Google to learn that healthcare outcomes are better, and usually for a lot less money than we spend as a country. The only thing that's difficult to understand is why Americans are so intent on refusing to accept that truth.[/quote]
