It depends on where your statistics come from Steve. Using Statista, Canada's not even in the first 26 countries. Besides these statistics are impossible to measure. Too many variables. Depends on what they're using to compile the data. As far as successful surgeries Example, the surgeons they're getting the success rate from are either poor surgeons (more bad outcomes), or great surgeons (more good outcomes). I did know one Canadian that had to wait for 6 months for cancer surgery. And he had to travel 400 miles. Also, Canadian taxes are 52% higher than the USA. Most of which goes to their health system. As far as the USA, my wife and I have had great experiences with good doctors and great surgeons.

I agree, rankings are about cost...to consumers and access.

If you don't mind waiting 6 weeks for an appointment national care is for you.

We also have a lot of slum areas that bring our top end down.

But as I said, as long as your covered you can't beat the top places in new York.


Mount Sinai Health System
According to Newsweek/Statista, Mount Sinai Hospital is ranked among the best in the world for patient care. It was ranked number one in New York City for "World's Best Smart Hospitals 2025" and number one in New York City for five service lines in "World's Best Specialized Hospitals 2025".

NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital
In 2005, U.S.News & World Report ranked NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital as one of the nation's top 10 hospitals. It was also the only New York metropolitan-area hospital to rank in all 17 medical specialties listed.

NYU Langone
NYU Langone hospitals have some of the highest rankings in the United States, and nine of their specialties are among the top five in the nation.
New York's maternal mortality rate
New York's maternal mortality rate is better than much of the country, ranking seventh for the metric.
