>>And no, I'm not making this up. Seriously JR, please go back and read the original matrix and the scores.
Even better, maybe you should read the original Commonwealth report rather than a lay media paraphrase. ;-)
There is some interesting stuff that drops out of the detailed report. For example, the US does very well on preventive care which IMHO is more a tribute to US people than their health system. OK, you're on: what am I talking about?!
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
