The most.

I was aiming at that you called the US for the MOST developed country.

And of course according to those parameters USA comes very high up on the list. But, we also know, especially if you have some understanding regarding economic flows and development, that those figures mostly don’t provide the clearest and most reliable picture.

If you put in factors such as political development and individual freedom (factors that clearly are more relevant to the modern welfare society) I wouldn't call the US the most developed country.
