The broadest general measures of gdp per capita spent on healthcare as well as life expectancy would indicate that not only does the US pay over double per capita of what every other modern nation pays, it also has 2-5 year lagging life expectancy (not to mention the only modern nation with flat or declining life expectancy).
As an aside, the NHS is indeed flirting with instability right now, but that is due to multiple Tory governments arguably putting policies in place to destabilize and privatize the NHS in the long term. It’s as bizarre as Brexit to me that the British voters are going with it. But there it is.
- ozim 5y agoSo private health like in the US that is not tied to any government would fix that? ;) I don't see that argument as refutation of my argument :) Because party you don't support is running the system does not mean that when party you support it will get better. I don't believe any party has that much influence over what is happening in health care anyway or is able to fix it.
