The study tries to compare apples with apples. Why does that offend you? Would you rather compare the US with Cuba? Wait, Cuba does quite well in a comparison of health outcomes with the US. Go figure.
17 nations hardly make an accurate portrait - the idea behind looking at such skimmed statistics is to compare, contrast - and then learn what can be done differently. . . statistics serve purpose.
This does none of that - and 17 is far too few . . . to identify the areas that need improvements and how best to improve them you cannot write off other nations that are economically eschew . . . you should look at them and figure out *how* does economics impact their healthcare - - and seek out other factors to compare other than 'how we rank amid these 6 statistics' . . . The op is not a serious effort to understand and pick it apart to suggest improvements and issues.
