Which Country Has the World’s Best Health Care? with Ezekiel Emanuel

The US spends more than any other nation, nearly $4 trillion, on health care. Yet, for all that expense, the US health care is not ranked #1—not even close. In Which Country Has the World’s Best Health Care?, Ezekiel Emanuel profiles eleven of the world’s health care systems in pursuit of the best, or at least where excellence can be found. Using a unique comparative structure, the book allows health care professionals, patients, and policymakers alike to know which systems perform well, and why, and which face endemic problems. From Taiwan to Germany, Australia to Switzerland, the most inventive health care providers tackle a global set of challenges—in pursuit of the best health care in the world. Interviewed by Steve Budd
