The preeminent doctor and health policy expert Ezekiel J. Emanuel gives an incisive tour of eleven health care systems across the globe in search of whose is best

“Valuable… It’s hard to imagine anyone better suited to rank the world’s health care systems.” —The New York Review of Books

One thing we can all agree on: The United States does not have the world’s best health care—at least not for all its citizens across fifty very different states. But which country does, and what can they teach the US?

After analyzing the US and ten other countries—Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland, Taiwan, and the UK—the results are in. No health care system is perfect, whether the problem is too many hospital beds in Germany or treating chronic illness in France. And some problems are shared across many countries: from addressing mental health care to containing the rising costs of chronic care.

Which Country Has the World’s Best Health Care? offers evidence of the flaws and triumphs of health systems in the US and globally, and the lessons we can learn from each other.
