The NHS has been declared the world’s best healthcare system by an international panel of experts who rated its care superior to countries which spend far more on health.The Raw Story
The same study also castigated healthcare provision in the US as the worst globally. Despite putting the most money into health, America denies care to many patients in need because they do not have health insurance and is also the poorest at saving the lives of people who fall ill, it found.

It examined an array of evidence about performance in 11 countries, including detailed data from patients, doctors and the World Health Organisation.
