This is incorrect.
We are overpaying for lower quality healthcare.
We have worse outcomes than countries with free healthcare.
As my father used to say "it may be bad, but it's expensive."
I'm a 30 year old who's been waiting 14 months for a doctors visit to establish a primary care physician in the US.
I paid for a whole year of employer provided healthcare that I couldn't even use the most basic function of. This system is great
"You can find better quality but you can't pay more". Is the phrasing I heard.
I'd have to look at the most recent numbers, but the usual addage is that rich countries (US included) all have roughly the same overall quality of care, but they each have areas they're particularly good or bad in. We're particularly bad at maternal and neonatal care, but we're quite good at cancer. It's been a while since I've dived into the numbers, though.
