> Do you have data that shows that the NHS is better value for money than most/all other providers

I'm not sure how your link supports your point. the US spends far more on healthcare than the UK, but has lower life expectancy. Even if you remove private spending and only include government spending the US spends more on healthcare.

Does it show that the NHS provides better value for money than other providers excluding the US? (It doesn't look like it does to me).

The US is a massive outlier globally. They have expensive, poor healthcare in comparison to the rest of the world. Compare any country to the US and that country will likely out-perform the US on most metrics.
