>I don't know if the answer to that question is knowable. Personally I doubt our health care is the best in the world given that we have the most wealth of any country but do not have the highest life expectancy. The U.S. ranks about 10th by that measure IIRC.
I am specifically referring to medical advancements (technology, technique, drugs, etc). The US model leads to greater innovation, hence, better care. Without the US' advancements the other "universal" systems would be decades behind.
