What is behind our WHO health care system ranking?

What is behind our WHO health care system ranking?: "The World Health Organization (WHO) published a ranking in 2000 of the health care systems of 191 countries in the world. The United States ranked 37th. Our WHO ranking has been used as proof by some that we need fundamental change to health care in America-along the lines of nationalized health care. Our WHO ranking of 37th out of 191 countries causes people to rethink our existing health care system until the components of the ranking are uncovered.
The WHO ranking is more directly related to equity and less related to quality of health care."
