I'm not sure that's an accurate statement. I have heard it argued that
we
have the best emergency health care system, with all the bells and
whistles, but if you were to look at statistics directly related to
health
care, life expectancy, infant mortality, etc. we aren't at the top of
the
list.

If money were no object, and you could choose to have a lifesaving
procedure anywhere in the world, where would you choose to have it done?

Israel.

Shimon Glick, M.D., Professor of Internal Medicine and Chairman of the
Division of Medicine at Ben Gurion University Faculty of Health Sciences in
Beer Sheva, Israel disagrees with you:

" And yet, the quality of health ca there is no place in the world you
can get better than in America. "
