I suppose that this depends on what precisely you are measuring.
We've just seen that infant mortality rates are better in Cuba that the USA.
It appears that life expectancy is higher for Britons and Canadians:

(The figures come from the CIA factbook, which I guess is a reliable source. Certainly, you've approved of it enough to upload copies, Nate.)
The thing is that we consult our healthcare professionals when we are sick and vulnerable. We have to trust them. And it's natural that we each hope that we are getting the best.
