Hi - The comparison of national health systems is a very complicated situation. On many quality and cost measures the US doesn't compare well, but it usually does great on access - which is what most people say they want - mostly because they equate fast access with quality.
Also, I just wanted to let you know that I’ve started a new blog (www.healthpolcom.com/blog) about health policy topics – with an emphasis on the intersection of clinical and economic factors in the US healthcare system. From looking at your blog, I think you may find some of my posts interesting.
Also, I’ve put your blog on my “blogroll” -- and if you want to put a link to my blog on your site, that would be great too.
I am HIPAA compliant. All persons in each of these stories are amalgamations and generalizations. I use the names 'Bob' and 'Joe' and 'Sally' a lot because they're good, strong names.
I don't actually know anybody named Bob or Sally, but I have two uncles named Joe, and neither of them has ever been my patient at any time.

Hmmm, the UK doing only a bit better, and still pretty far down the list. Badness.
Still, we beat Portugal. Go Team UK!
