- I want to start with a simple question.
Which country in the world has the best health care system?
- Yeah, so, I hate that question.
Here's where you should ask me why I hate that question.
- I knew you were gonna start with that question.
I think it's a question that a lot of people ask --
which country has the best health care system?
- I don't think there's a correct answer to it.
- It depends on what it is that we value.
- I'll give you an answer, but then I'll tell you
why the answer might not be applicable.
If you look at the world health rankings,
the country that came out on top is France.
I think, in general, starting from France
and working northern,
you tend to get the best health care systems.
But the reason why it's not entirely applicable
is that what works in one country
may not work in another country.
- So, just a few years ago,
I wrote a piece in "The New York Times"
with my colleague, Aaron Carroll.
We actually did a tournament of health systems.
It was like a bracket tournament the way
March Madness is a bracket tournament,
or a tennis tournament.
And we had me and Aaron, Uwe Reinhardt, Ashish Jha --
a physician, now Dean of Brown --
and Craig Garthwaite -- an economist at Northwestern.
And we each voted in each of the brackets --
in each of the pairings --
for which system we liked better.
And we ultimately got a winner, but one of the important
take-aways from that whole process
is that in no pairing did any country win 5 to 0.
There were five of us, right?
We were not unanimous in any decision.
There was always at least someone who disagreed,
and in many cases, it was 3 to 2.
