Analyze the 2024 "Mirror, Mirror" report to understand global health system performance and insights for improving health care quality and access.

- Key Findings: The top three countries are Australia, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, although differences in overall performance between most countries are relatively small. The only clear outlier is the U.S., where health system performance is dramatically lower.
- Conclusion: The U.S. continues to be in a class by itself in the underperformance of its health care sector. While the other nine countries differ in the details of their systems and in their performance on domains, unlike the U.S., they all have found a way to meet their residents’ most basic health care needs, including universal coverage.
According to the Commonwealth Fund's 2023 "Mirror, Mirror" report, the United States ranks last among 11 high-income countries in healthcare system performance.
The report found that the U.S. has the lowest life expectancy, the highest rates of preventable deaths, and the most expensive healthcare system among the countries studied. It also ranks poorly in terms of access to care, equity, and quality.
Specifically, the U.S. ranked:
Last in overall healthcare system performance, Last in life expectancy, Last in equity, Last in access to care, and Second to last in quality.
It's important to note that these rankings are based on a specific set of metrics and may not reflect all aspects of healthcare systems. Additionally, healthcare quality and access can vary significantly within the United States, with some states performing much better than others
