"We're #37!" - have you guys seen this yet?
It's an indy song about the WHO ranking of the American health care system. Enjoy!

2. Sorry, but ...
I cannot get worked up over a 9-year-old ranking based on 10-year-old data collected from sources that do not use standardized methods of data collection.

The WHO has not done it since because even they have admit that comparisons are essentially not valid.

4. So what can you get worked up over?
Currently I'm worked up over having to pay $2,100 for my daughter's 3 mile hospital ride because she used an "out of network" ambulance while away at college and then had the nerve to have a cyst rupture her fallopian tube while in the wrong zip code.

I'm guessing there are at least 36 places that would find that unbelievable!

8. Well, I doubt that we've improved much in 9 years,and even if the data is a little
skewed we would still not be in the top 10....except in amount of money spent per capita for health care.

9. Hey, if it goes viral there may be enough knuckle-draggers who view it
and use their remaining two brain cells to question the health care dilemma in this country.

11. I did not know that
I never heard of him before but have been checking out his website as a result of seeing this vid. He's got a great sense of humor at the very least.
