Intuition>Bad Data

I've already read this article, TJE, and I think it makes some legitimate points about that ranking system. These three graphs (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/ezra-klein/post/the-three-most-important-health-care-graphs-in-the-world/2011/04/13/AFtU1E6E_blog.html) still show that we spend far more on health care. Not only that, but we spend far more for far fewer percent of the population being covered, and with many times worse health care outcomes. So, yes, that study may be flawed, but so is our health care system and the author is just trying to discredit a study that says that, while not actually pointing out the reality himself.
