Criticism section
[edit]- I just removed the opinion that "mostly conservatives" find this study to be flawed.
There was also a link to a left-leaning article by a very liberal website which objects to the healthcare system not being a single payer system. It was a real oddball page to use as a source. It seems like it wound up there by accident.. must have.
- Anyways, lets keep the article itself neutral. "mainly by American Conservatives" is someone's opinion and is not demonstrable in any way. In fact, calling someone a conservative is just your opinion unless you have some quote from them saying they actually are a Conservative.
- I think someone needs to do a better job with the whole section. Its kind of low quality

I agree that it is not the best for a section, but it was the best I could put together at the time. I would more than welcome a better integration into the article. On the other hand, many articles have a criticism section, so why cant this have one?--Metallurgist (talk) 21:54, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
Expenditure per Capita
[edit]Is the Expenditure Per Capita in terms of $1,000? It doesn't seem clear.
A: Expenditure Per Capita is a ranking from 1-191 like all the other columns, 1 being the highest expenditure. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SquidX (talk • contribs) 17:56, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
Vandalism
[edit]If someone vandalizes the rankings again, the actual ranking starts on page 152 of the WHO document. France is ranked #1 (and #4 by expenditure). BakerStMD T|C 01:18, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
The current rankings are wrong again, it seems. Iceland should be #15 instead of Finland, Finland should be #21 instead of the US, and the US should be #37 instead of #21. There might be other mistakes, judging by this. I would fix this, but I'm not 100% sure how to edit Wikipedia. Apologies if I broke any rules while including my comment in the talk section.
Romania is in two places on the list (one very high, the other much lower) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.233.120.186 (talk) 09:20, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
I completely replaced the table yesterday with more columns from Annex Table 1. The double Romania has been fixed. I'll be watching the topic for vandals.
Based on http://www.who.int/healthinfo/paper30.pdf whoever was copying this out did so in alphabetical order and shifted some by one by accident: the United Kingdom has the last ranking (overall healthcare efficiency) of the Ukraine, and the Ukraine of the United Republic of Tanzania...
