Although I would have liked to see a broader political spectrum of your sources along with the sources revealing what they based their ranking on, I do thank you for the time you spent compiling the links for me. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 19:23, 15 February 2015 (EST)

::As far as Brits willing to pay more taxes to improve their system, I am reminded of this quote: "I freed a thousand slaves. I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves." - Harriet Tubman. I am a believer in Thomas Jefferson/American founding fathers model of limited government. The history record shows many cases of big government tyranny, screw ups and much inefficiency. Jesus was right, "The rulers of the gentiles rule it over them".
::And many people in North Korea will say they have a good country due to nationalism. So many Brits saying they have a good system is not very impressive as it may be partly due to nationalism. I would say, "Your system is good, compared to what?". Many people do not take into account [[opportunity cost]].
::I realize that the Brits are not slaves or living in North Korea like conditions, but I do think that more freedom and less freedom is preferable in a system along with competitive forces and a high degree of accountability keeping people on their toes and trying their best (which the private sector often provides). Judging by their lifespans and reputations for toughmindedness/efficiency, my guess is that the Singaporeans and Swiss have the best systems outside of the USA. I know many Americans are unhappy with the post ObamaCare condition of their medical system. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 19:49, 15 February 2015 (EST)
