JOSE, VENEZUELA SAID ON THE 29 APRIL 2011: RESPOND

FUERA CHAVEZ DE VENEZUELA. DICTADOR, ASESINO, LADRON Y SATRAPA

HENRY RESPONDED ON THE 30TH APRIL 2011:

Saldrá cuando el pueblo lo decida y no por aquellos que perdieron sus negociasos por la misma razón.

LUIS, MARACAIBO RESPONDED ON THE 2ND MAY 2011:

Cuando los ignorantes por fin terminen de abrir sus ojos y vean lo nefasto que ha sido su régimen (ya que en Venezuela, NO hay gobierno, esto es un caos),
comprenderán que ha desgraciado el futuro de tres generaciones . . .

ANWAR, ADDIS ABABA, ETHIOPIA SAID ON THE 22ND MARCH 2011: RESPOND

CORRECTION Please!I can't believe when I see Ethiopia placed on 107/110. I was expecting it to be on 110/110 and it deserves to be.

JUAN ARIAS, MERIDA EDO MERIDA RESPONDED ON THE 30TH APRIL 2011:

Los servicios anitarios en Venezuela son deficientes ya que el gobierno no aporta lo necesario pàra ello en cuanto a medicinas sueldos a los medicos y a
enfermeras, la falta de recursos hace que los equipos de RX, Bioanalisis (laboratorio) Tac no funcionen

FABIO, BRAZIL SAID ON THE 29TH APRIL 2011: RESPOND

Congratulations! This table reflects the truth at least about the countries I've visited.

ARTUR RUCO, ALBANIA SAID ON THE 19TH APRIL 2011: RESPOND

What about Albania? We dont see Albania in your rankings and even in your analysies at all? It is not a europeen country ?

KBB, USA SAID ON THE 30TH MARCH 2011: RESPOND

Any survey that ranks the US 1st in Health Care should be discarded out right, who are they trying to fool? I am an American and my father is a physician, so if anyone
has reaped the benefits of this system, I have. But it a total disaster, worthy of any 3rd world country. It is funny to call it a system at all, for even those of us who are
"covered", none are "covered" the same.
