I can't locate the 2015 ratings, but I do have the WHO's ratings based on 2016.  Note the source is Canada, and they are trying to improve from their rating of 30.  The US is rated 37, just ahead of Slovenia and Cuba.  The UK, with their "failing system" is rated 18.  As is often the case, the French and Italians are at the top.  If you want more detail, here is the 2015 WHO World Health Statistics.  Start on page 90 (Section 4) and 114 (Section 6) to save some time.
