US health system ranks last compared with peer nations, report finds

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

People are waiting years for operations in your messed up country.... Brits are coming here for life saving treatment...

Can you imagine the backlog for dental care? It has to be decades.

 

[flewism]

The States have a for profit medical system. In all aspects of medical care, the number one function is to generate profit.

 

[whitehall]

I dont usually bother but................
Why dont you study the report and then maje your judgements. Or produce your own report that supports your bollox.
Medical costs are the biggest cause of bankruptcy in the US.

Why don't you consider the source and the plight of the English medical system rather than parroting some socialist based statistics.

Its not particularly positive about the UK.
But we know what the problems are and are open about it. We are dealing with it.
You dont even want to consider there is a problem.
Why are you so defensive ?
How does that help sick people. ?

Welcome to xiden and harris s america

This is much more of a Republican problem than one for Democrats. Republicans are opposed to single payer healthcare, and yet that's what the rest of the first world has and it's both better and cheaper than your system - plus we cover EVERYONE.

Red states with the worst health care in the nation have consistently refused the Medicaid expansion. 1/3 of your health care dollars goes to administration and collections. in European nations, that's 5% or less. In Canada, it's 7%/

And last but not least, you're the only nation in the first world where life expectancy is declining, and you pay out more than twice as much per person as Canada.

US health system ranks last compared with peer nations, report finds

Despite Americans paying nearly double that of other nations, the US fares poorly in list of 10 countries

www.theguardian.com

In spite of Americans paying nearly double that of other countries, the system performed poorly on health equity, access to care and outcomes.

Last.

I dont think its an indictment of the hospitals It is more a comment on the actual system.

Healthcare is an open sore in the colonies. But the US is no nearer a solution

You’re right Tommy, you should never visit the U.S..don’t want you getting sick or anything and having to deal with our health care system…stay in England or Israel or wherever it is where it’s safe and health care is free and abundant!


Just thinking of you buddy

Same with you dragonlady..you should avoid the U.S. at all costs! If you were to get sick, that would be a bad thing..stay up in Canada where healthcare is free and timely!

gasp!! This is unacceptable speech…GUARDS!! Take him away!

Do NOT come here with that nonsense! America bad! Everywhere else..good!

You must have had a one off experience, everyone else who goes to the hospital in America ends up with extra appendages attached when it’s all said and done..or so some would want you to believe!

They took good care of me.

Mathis day on the calendar. Taint managed to avoid poor spelling in his thread headline.

The Arabs go to Germany for orthopaedic procedures.

 

[Papageorgio]

They made a doc of Obamas struggle to get a decent healthcare system.
All against GOP obstruction.
So there were many compromises.
However it is wildly popular.
Meanwhile we can only speculate on trumps "concept of a plan".
Cynics might think that he didnt have a plan.

Obama has a super majority and struggled because Democrats saw huge problems and would not go along with Obama.

Oops, my bad

Glad to hear you received good service. Some of these people would have you believe US healthcare is a death sentence!

 

[initforme]

We are the wealthiest nation in the world but we cannot figure out healthcare. As a citizen I'm embarrassed.

And before that it was still rotten. So america has FAILED and I sadly will admit this truth.

The obvious, is there is no peer to our nation.

No schools producing more, or better docs

No medicine anywhere in the world better

Nowhere in the world people choose over the usa for healthcare
