As opposed to the USA where we pay practically 2x per capita for healthcare compared to socialized nations and get measurably worse health outcomes in aggregate. The US healthcare system is great for people with the means to have genuine access to it, but most people don't and it shows in our metrics.
- hackeraccount 4y ago"measurably worse health outcomes" presumes the percentage of health that healthcare is responsible for is known to any degree of accuracy. Further sayin that most people don't have genuine access is - despite this article - certainly untrue. Some people don't; those not on medicaid, medicare or private insurance. Most? That's a hard statement to back up.
