68% of Republicans believe the U.S. health care system is the best in
the world, according to a survey by the Harvard School of Public Health.

The U.S. ranks:

14th in preventable deaths
24th in life expectancy
37th in overall health system ranking
72nd in health system attainment and performance
2nd in total health expenditure on health as a percentage of GDP
