These Are The Healthiest (& Unhealthiest) Countries In The World
It’s been 75 years since the start of the United Kingdom’s National Health Service, the first universal health system available to all, free at the point of delivery.
In light of this, Statista’s Anna Fleck looks at how different health systems compare around the world, using data from Legatum Prosperity Index, created by The Legatum Institute Foundation, a London think tank.
As the following chart shows, the UK ranks in 34th place out of the 167 indexed countries and territories, based on not only its healthcare system (such as access to health services) but also its population’s state of health (including mortality rates, illness and risk factors).
While fairly high, the country has been sliding down the list for the Health category, having placed in 23rd position in 2019, 20th in 2016 and 19th in 2013.

According to the index, Singapore was rated as having the top service and state of health globally in 2023.
Asia is well represented generally, with the four top places rounded off by Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.
Meanwhile, the United States trails just behind the UK in rank 38.
The bottom five places are Somalia, Lesotho, Chad, South Sudan and the Central African Republic.
The ranking was created as part of a wider index, which also looks at indicators such as education, investment environment and governance. When taking all analyzed areas into account, the Legatum Centre for National Prosperity says that the Nordic countries of Denmark, Sweden and Norway come out on top as the most prosperous societies.

Rand Paul: ‘Gender Affirming Surgery’ “Is A Mutilation”
“Universally around the world we were opposed to this… and now we have the opposite.”
Senator Rand Paul has slammed the Democrat governor of Kentucky after it was revealed that the state has been allowing trans surgeries on children to take place.
During a Fox News interview, Paul described ‘gender affirming care’ as a “terrible, terrible approach,” to dealing with “psychiatric illnesses.”
“We have got a controversy going on in Kentucky right now in our governor’s race, our Democrat incumbent Andy Beshear has said well, I’m not for the surgery but it doesn’t really happen in Kentucky. Then we got a letter from the University of Kentucky saying yeah they have been doing surgery this reassignment surgery on children, on minors and he was caught in a lie,” Paul explained.
The Senator continued, “They’re running with their hair on fire away from this,” adding “There are other issues we are dealing with here, there are psychiatric illnesses, and comorbidities that need to be treated,” Paul said, adding Instead, we are saying cut off part of your body and you’ll be better.”
“The Democrats kind of want to call it something that it’s not. They got really mad at me at a committee hearing when I called it genital mutilation,” Paul further noted, adding “Universally around the world we were opposed to this. We were opposed to it in Africa when they were doing it. The U.N., everybody was working to stop it and now we have the opposite.”
“We have clinics set up where we are affirming this and encouraging this to happen to our children. It doesn’t work. It is a mutilation. It destroys their urinary tract system. It gives them no sexual pleasure as an adult. It’s a terrible, terrible thing to let your child do or let anybody do to your child. It really shouldn’t happen,” Paul urged.
He continued, “They think it’s all benign but in the case of the transgender surgeries, a half a dozen European countries have banned it in children because they have a long-term experience and actually discovered after following these people 10, 15, 20 years after the surgery that the incidence of suicide is 20 times greater in those who have had the surgery than the general public.”

People in Washington DC now seem to believe that being grossly overweight is healthy.
“Man vs. Street” host Malik Lahrim surveyed people in the area, asking them if they think obese singer Lizzo is healthy.
“Fuck yeah, she’s vegan,” replied one respondent, claiming that “she is active on TikTok” and “working out.”
Another respondent stated “Everyone has different body types” and “it doesn’t matter how you look so long as you’re healthy.”
Others argued that obesity is down to genetics.
Only one guy had any common sense and correctly equated obesity with being unhealthy, noting “if you actually care about people don’t lie to them,” noting that being overweight means “you’re going to die sooner.”
