Why don't we fix this?Americans spend more than double per person on healthcare compared to 17 peer nations, but rank near the bottom in health outcomes.
The phenomenon is described as “pervasive”, impacting all age groups up to 75, with life expectancy declining especially for women. In just a few examples, Americans have the highest infant mortality, children are less likely to live to age five, and the US has the worst rates of Aids among peer nations.
The US also has the highest or among the highest rates of cardiovascular disease, obesity, chronic lung disease and disability.

Americans know intuitively that their healthcare is expensive, frustrating and often unfair. Remarkably, even amid the pandemic, roughly 30 million Americans went without health insurance, exposing them to potentially ruinous medical debt.
