And yet health care in the UK still manages to be ranked higher than that here. I mean I am aware, thanks to that Investor's Business Daily editorial, that if Stephen Hawking was born in the UK he wouldn't have survived because the bureaucracy would have deemed his life not worth prolonging, but I am also aware that a lot of the unfavourable comparisons that are floating around are based on out of date data.

My grandmother had her hip replaced in the UK same docor that did the queens. When she got back here she had to lay in a hospital bed for 4 months while the bone healed enough to have a new replacement done. The hospital that it was done at was a stables, and arena before ww2. So the ratings may be a little inflated.
