I just read an interesting article titled "Ranking 37th - Measuring the Performance of the U.S. Health Care System" over at the Health Policy and Reform blog of the New England Journal of Medicine.
I read through this article and the one thing that strikes me over and over is the fact that the United States is rated 37th. 37th! We aren't even in the top 10, we're barely in the top 40. Yet I hear the rhetoric about how our health care is the best in the world over and over from the politicians and their apologists.
