[quote=Anonymous]By what metric? In the US, the people who have access to low out of pocket cost healthcare or have significant financial means have the best healthcare in the world. It’s honestly not even close. I’ve worked with health systems all over Western Europe and the only thing they have us beat on is access. Try getting cutting edge cancer care, or top of the line joint replacement, or extremely technical neurosurgery after head trauma. Some of this is available but it’s not nearly as ubiquitous as it is in the U.S. Sure, you don’t go bankrupt over medical bills but if your metric is just overall “best” the US can’t be beat. Our costs are higher because of 1. Consumption, 2. Doctor pay, 3. Obesity [/quote]
