[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People living in countries with socialized healthcare have to wait a long time for a single appointment. The United States also has the highest QUALITY of any developed country. People fly from all over the world to have surgery here or to bring their child for surgery more than any developed country.[/quote]

DO we have the highest quality healthcare?

https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2018/03/u-s-pays-more-for-health-care-with-worse-population-health-outcomes/

“The study confirmed that the U.S. has substantially higher spending, worse population health outcomes, and worse access to care than other wealthy countries. For example, in 2016, the U.S. spent 17.8 percent of its gross domestic product on health care, while other countries ranged from 9.6 percent (Australia) to 12.4 percent (Switzerland). Life expectancy in the U.S. was the lowest of all 11 countries in the study, at 78.8 years; the range for other countries was 80.7 to 83.9 years. The proportion of the U.S. population with health insurance was 90 percent, lower than all the other countries, which ranged from 99 to 100 percent coverage.”

(It’s true that sometimes people come to us for hard-to-get care, but plenty of Americans leave the US for care, too.)[/quote]

Life expectancy isn’t just about health care. [/quote]
