What Western European nation has the best Health Care System?

Obviously this debate often boils down into nationalist defense of one's own country, but is there an objective answer? The NHS of Britain is extremely cost-efficient, and seems to offer good quality services. Do citizens on the mainland countries agree that their systems are inferior to Britain?

I guess that's true, but I'm just an ignorant, but curious, yankee after all. I've done some research and the Swiss system intrigues me, as it seems to have the "least" government involvement. I wonder why Britain decided to go a different route as the mainland countries when it came to insurance, though.

What does a third world nation in which the vast majority of people live on subsistence farming have to do with the fact that the Swiss system intrigues me. I do, however, find it mildly terrifying that you are blaming death on lack of government.

Death is sometimes the result of lack of government. This is indisputable. Someone dies because they aren't treated. The government could have treated them.

I highly doubt a nation as dirt poor as Bangladesh could create a viable public healthcare system. I mean, subsaharan African nations have state run health systems, but is barely matters because of how shockingly poor and war torn the area is.

Forget I said Bangladesh. I could just as easily have said the US. Now you are just using the fact that I said Bangladesh to avoid addressing my argument.

Someone getting no treatment at all is getting no government involvement vs someone getting NHS treatment is getting massive government involvement. Who is getting better care in your eyes?

Obviously the person on NHS.

I didn't intend for it to be ridiculous. I was just curious as to which western european nation has the best system.
