I lived a long enough to know and I don't know about metrics but about real living. Not sure about "everyone covered" part because in other Eastern Europe countries if you don't pay in cash nobody is looking at you. I don't believe the Czech are more advanced. The official "coverage" is a myth. If you are over 60 better don't go in hospital because the "policy" is to increase the mortality rate. Why - because the government do not have to pay the pension. Don't believe it? My wife is talking with her mother every Saturday by the phone and I know how it is. Do you believe a simple over the counter medicine for arthritis is considered a miracle there? This is what many people here in US do not know - here in US we have the best medications that are really effective when compared with medications from other countries. The technology - this is beyond comparison - for example the scanners - in Eastern Europe there is 1 scanner to probably 1 mil people. These are the facts I have from personal experience.
