The US has a mortality rate due to preventable causes comparable to Poland/Slovakia despite having nearly a 4x higher GDP per capita. Even poorer countries with better systems do far better w.r.t preventable mortality. This amounts to an extra 100,000 deaths per year approx vs countries like Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, etc.
