But I agree, it needs to be better. More funding doesn't help unless you're streamlining processes at the same time.

That doesn't explain why Australia also spends less and receives better care though. But expanding on your thought it makes sense, for most of us I bet our level of care is in line with every other first world universal system. But the quality of care in remote areas (especially on reservations) drags every ranking down
