American medical care may be the most expensive in the world, and it is definitely not worth every penny. A recent study highlighted the stark contrast between what the United States spends on its health system and the quality of care it delivers.
The report shows that the United States spends more than twice as much on each person for health care as most other industrialized countries. But it has fallen to last place among those countries in preventing deaths through use of timely and effective medical care.
The findings are likely to provide supporting evidence for the notion that the nation’s health care system needs to be fixed.
