I posted information about what those countries spend on healthcare compared to the US earlier. The US now pays more for healthcare than France, Canada and the UK. We don't have to pay more money to get healthcare coverage for everyone, we just need to fix our system.
As for rankings, according to the WHO France has the top healthcare system in the world - we are at #37.
Also, no one is saying that we need to socialize the pharmaceutical industry but we do need to limit their lobbying practices.
