Haven't yet seen a developed nation do worse than the US. If you prefer to compare against developing countries only, sure, winning by lowering the bar to the ground is an option.

What metrics are you using for that? The US ranks fairly close to the top for out of hospital heart attack survival, which is a good proxy for emergency medicine in general.

The US also has decent EMS response times. If you adjust for population density, the US has fantastic response times.
