Bulgaria has about 1.6 times more doctors per capita as Canada (4 versus 2.5 or so). Just saying...

  Yeah, but my point (and I kinda knew someone would give me flack for the examples) was that there's a massive disparity between different EU countries, so comparing Canada to an EU-average (15, 28, 27?) is unlikely to prove useful.

    It's useful for Canadians to know that the rhetoric coming from our politicians is garbage. Most Canadians buy into the propaganda that we have a world-class health system but the truth is, even the poorest EU countries have better healthcare than we do and the best are miles ahead.

      Yeah, but if you actually want to make decisions based on it, then you shouldn't use an unrepresentative average. Like Ireland (where I live) is far, far closer to the US model than Germany (as an example). EU-level averages disguise such variations, which are useful to understand.
