The data does not support the claim that the US has "better quality of care"

the US is a big place with large variance in care. Places with socialized/centrally managed medicine are arguably going to have less variance. As I argued, "I had better care", not that everyone has better care.

As a techie with good insurance, I could be in the top percentiles of care in the US and therefore have better care.
