8 World Health Care Rankings (Recap)

This series of eight charts has accomplished something rather simple ... it has shown that our health care system in the United States is broken. Despite spending more on health care than any country in the world, we are less healthy. We are more likely to die young. Our babies are more likely to die. We are more obese. Our teenagers are more likely to get pregnant.

Let's not pretend that our system isn't broken. Let's not pretend that we have the best health care system in the world. We do not and the proof is in the numbers. We need universal health care and we need it now.
