Which report is that? The World Health Statistics?
WHO | World Health Statistics 2009
Or was there another WHO publication you were looking for?
WHO | Publications
It's all available as free .pdf downloads. You can also find the statistics quoted above
here, and honestly I think they're more relevant to the discussion. I copy and pasted the summaries, but you can find a wide range of statistics on everything from child mortality to obesity and nutrition to tobacco and alcohol consumption, if that's your thing.
Out of curiosity, did you actually look before declaring this information unfindable?
Again, according to the statistics provided by the international non-partisan body charged with monitoring this very issue, US citizens pay more per capita, and get less for it. These are facts, and are not subject to opinion.
Finally, I need you to come right out and say it, because it's unclear to me. What questions precisely are you referring to that remain unanswered?
