Well, I've just spent about 10 minutes going thru WHO's site and am unable to uncover your source. Why not save us the confusion and simply post your info source?
I did find that the US spends about 6600 per capital per year (as of 2004) as opposed to 5300 per capita per year in the UK. I confess I didn't copy all the info in that chart, but there was no ranking of countries to be found here.
Oh, yeah, here you go:
http://www.who.int/whosis/whostat/2007/en/index.html This was the only place I could find anything even close to what you allege.
