I would agree there is some value in such comparisons and information but would suggest that such would be minimal given the inherent and substantial differences between the US and the countries you name. Now, if France, Germany and England had a joint universal health care system that actually worked, then I would be very interested.

Throw Turkey, Serbia, and Croatia, and maybe we could see a reasonable comparison.
