"Best healthcare system in the world...."
A new report looks at the cost of the US healthcare system and relates that to the services provided and the actual health of Americans and finds the US cost-benefit ratio ranks well behind most of our competitor nations (who employ all kinds of different health systems.)
The interesting bit is that this isn't coming from a traditional health agenda group, but from the Business Roundtable. They frame it as an issue of competitiveness.

We often confuse having the most advanced technology, the largest number of medical specialists, and the highest number of pharmaceuticals with having the best "health care system."
Frankly, the "system" sucks. Our system involves advanced medical technology and practitioners on one side, patents on the other, and an insurance industry in the middle who's goal it is to keep the two apart.

Yeah.
And we also do the most expensive life extension procedures of anywhere in the world.
Keeping alive the very old is a huge expense in our system that is probably somewhat culturally based.
