This "good healthcare" is kind of like your "good tvs" proclamation.
"HiSense makes great tvs..if you don't buy the 4K one that the stuff on the screen disappears and reappears....and if you don't buy the ones reviews say are only suitable for video games..."
Now with healthcare:
"They had great healthcare....if you survive birth and childhood...and then didn't get a disease there was no cure for...."
From your own link:
Quote:The early years from infancy through to about 15 was perilous, due to risks posed by disease, injuries, and accidents. But those who survived this hazardous period of life could well make it into old age.
Again, maybe we just have a higher standard of what "good healthcare" is here. For us, good healthcare has to keep you alive.
