The US pays more per citizen for healthcare than any
civilized country in the world, and gets poorer outcomes.
There is a LOT of room for lowering your costs and improving your outcomes when you’re ready to redesign it. But yeah, if you just try to duct tape over a crack here, and bolt a new feature on there, nothing seems to work.
The poorer outcomes aren't due to the quality of US healthcare but differences in the people of the US. The US is bigger than most countries so people need to drive more and thus are more likely to get into car accidents. The opioid crisis has caused the US life expectancy to decrease but that has nothing to do with the quality of hospitals. Better hospitals and medicine don't prevent people exercising less, eating more fast food, etc.
