Like most developed countries, Britain ranks above the U.S. in most health measurements. Its citizens have a longer life expectancy and lower infant mortality, and the country has more acute-care hospital beds per capita and fewer deaths related to surgical or medical mishaps. Britain achieves these results while spending proportionally less on health care than the U.S. — about $2,500 per person in Britain, compared with $6,000 in the U.S. For these reasons, the World Health Organization (WHO) ranked Britain 18th in a global league table of health-care systems (the U.S. was ranked 37th). However, there are measures by which the U.S. outperforms Britain: for instance, the U.S. has lower cancer mortality rates.

For Germany,
I got no specific tidbits like Britain. All I know is that Germany has universal health care, the oldest of its style, and that it does rather well for itself, though it spends the least amount of its Gross Domestic Product on it of any high-end developed European country.

Yeah in the 18th century, two inventions suggested a method of measurement. One won and the other stayed in America.
