I know I’m more likely to ask conservative friends with Libertarian
leanings to take the quiz (which might account for the reason that there
are a lot more Libertarians than Right-Conservatives). Still, I wouldn’t
call the Libertarian segment an “overwhelming majority”.

Please check the date on the site I cited.

Or you could say “oops, that information is outdated”.

That would involve admitting that an error was made...

Hmm. I noted the date before I cited the text. The fact that the date is in
very large text at the bottom of the page should be enough for anyone!

I’d like to see some figures to back up those claims.

Try this search:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=GNP+spent+on+healthcare+by+country&btnG=Google+Search
and you’ll find some cites that do indicate that we spend a lot of our GNP on
healhcare, for instance this one
http://www.chiff.com/a/HLFH703cost.htm
or this one
http://members.shaw.ca/tfrisen/whichisthebetterhealthcare.htm
and these sorts of studies seem to be the sort trotted out when the
inefficiency charge is laid... (1)
but you’ll also find this cite:

Hardly an independent assessment! For now I’ll stick to the
WHO: “Using five performance
indicators to measure health systems in 191 member states, it finds that France
provides the best overall health care followed among major countries by Italy,
Spain, Oman, Austria and Japan... The U. S. health system spends a higher
portion of its gross domestic product than any other country but ranks 37 out of
191 countries according to its performance, the report finds.”
