Nothing has changed at all in 12 years.

??? No. The sentence you half quoted on the first page says,

"The World Health Organization's ranking of the world's health systems was last produced in 2000, and the WHO no longer produces such a ranking table, because of the complexity of the task."

Thus if you click on and look at all the figures and ranking tables quoted, it shows the new source of the information aggregation, which is current, which is from a multiplicity of health organizations around the world, just not solely from WHO.

How did the US healthcare system fail Sarah Burke?

A thirty-year old falling and sustaining a severe head trauma, resulting in death, shouldn't threaten to bankrupt their family and survivors, causing them to lose their entire financial future: home, savings, retirement, etc.

Healthcare shouldn't be obtainable only for the wealthy. 40% of American homes are within a few paychecks of poverty. We are the only first-world country in the world that still pays private people to provide our health care, but they only make a profit by not providing us health care. That's simply crazy.
