The US healthcare System is the Costliest Healthcare System in the World, Yet it Produces Inferior Outcomes Compared to Other Developed Nations

The authors have found that the US spends the largest sum of money on healthcare, yet produces inferior outcomes. The US spent $2,486.3 billion on healthcare in 2009, higher than any other nation in the world. The per capita healthcare spending in the US in 2008 was $7,538, which was also higher than any other developed nation. Still, the US performs poorly on many health indicators, including life expectancy and mortality, compared to other developed nations. The reasons for this poor performance are the lack of universal access to healthcare, overspending by more than a trillion dollars per year and a faulty payment system that motivates the providers to offer excess healthcare services without any regard for the quality of service.
