But I would absolutely not say that they are 4th out of 10 or 7th out of 10, because the US is almost certainly not actually 10th in any of these categories (tbf there are probably some other countries around/above Canada, too)
Also, I think they are weighing each of these 5 categories equally? I skimmed the methodology and didn't see anything claiming otherwise. I'd say Care Process and Outcomes (the two categories where we're 4th) are probably the most important. Access and equity are also very important, but I suspect geography and other factors (e.g. indigenous population) influence this heavily, considering Australia is 9th. |
Why not? These are ranked relative to each other, not out of 10. 10th just means the worst out of the 10 countries. The US having the worst (or near worst)access to care, admin efficiency, equity, and health outcomes out of these 10 countries all make sense.
