re: Spinoff: The Commonwealth Fund Healthcare 2017 rankings. US basically ranked last

These ranking always ranking very high based on "equity" and "government subsidization." So a country like Haiti, where everyone has little access to a shitty system can be scored more highly than they should in "equity" because the poor and the rich don't have access to great care.

The amount of government subsidization is irrelevant to the actual performance of a healthcare system. So it's ridiculous to make it a metric.
