The NHS – a stunningly cost effective supplier of high quality healthcare
The UK ranks #2 overall. Hardly surprising since on 11 indicators it ranked in the top 3 on 8, and if quality and access are treated at their combined rather than disaggregated levels then it was in the top 3 on all indicators bar longevity of healthy life.
And all that for a much, much lower cost per head than the US market based system but also less too than everywhere but New Zealand, which ranks pretty poorly on everything but being patient focused.
The NHS is one of the best health systems in the world. We cannot afford to let this unique and incredibly beneficial service be dismantled for the sake of political point-scoring.
