That blows me away. I knew our healthcare system wasn't perfect, but to only be ahead of the US in western rankings? How is it possible that the UK serves almost double the amount of people, for less money, and they receive a vastly better quality of care?

I think that having a densely populated, yet small area, likely has a pretty significant affect on the quality, speed, and accessibility of care.
Canada has a sparse population, and it's difficult to get quality people to work in places that don't have much for population.
But I agree, it needs to be better. More funding doesn't help unless you're streamlining processes at the same time.
