But major discrepancies/errors are found in Table A2.2 of the 2008 ILO paper vs. OECD Total public and primary private health insurance coverage statistics for 2003 for Chile (96.0% vs. 66.1%), Israel (9.0% vs. 100%), Mexico (78.6% vs. 46.5%), United States (100% vs. 85.0%), making all ILO-based health insurance coverage data (and world maps based on it) unreliable.

Having read the above carefully, I'm still not sure I understand the issue. We have 2003 statistics by one agency (OECD) that don't map with 2008 statistics by a different agency. Well, 5 years have passed, and there is likely a new or different methodology at play here. So, it is natural that the numbers are different. I can't see any reason to dispute that the ILO numbers are indeed the ILO numbers, which is all this map ever claimed. In fact, the graph shown simply replicates a figure from the paper, using the same exact divisions (e.g. <10%, 10-40%, etc): [http://www.ilo.org/gimi/gess/ShowWiki.do?wid=76] (see figure 3.7), but converting it to an easily zoomable svg form w/o copyright issues. Do you really have any evidence, that the ILO is publishing figures which are wildly inaccurate - and do you have published sources which back up this assertion? I know some disagree with the ILO methodology, but calling it misleading/inaccurate/unreliable is not backed up by anything as far as I can tell.--[[User:Obiwankenobi|obiwankenobi]] ([[User talk:Obiwankenobi|talk]]) 21:27, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
