Think the best system would be a 2 tiered (public/private) system funded by Feds but administered by the states.
Also we need to stop letting drug companies advertise and purge the FDA.

so is mcdonald's the world's best restaurant because its food is available to all, or are there other restaurants with higher quality that you have to pay for? the premises of the study is flawed. its starts from the premise that the best healthcare is the healthcare obtained by the most, not "the best" healthcare. it's rating the most accessible. if they didn't receive any heath care, their health is not impacted by the healthcare system at all so those people make no difference in determining what the best healthcare is. for most accessible, sure, whatever, have fun britian

That's true. In terms of providing health care for 20-30% of the population, the US is number one.
