Comparing the United States health care system to other countries is a daunting task. There are many, many factor to consider. Where one country may be excelling there are always contrasting areas where they are failing. In a broad context, it is easy to see that the U.S. is lagging behind other countries.
In the article U.S. Health Care from a Global Perspective, it is noted that the U.S. is far outspending many other countries. But, it counters that cost itself is higher in the U.S. So while we may be spending more than the next highest spender, France, it may be in part because our healthcare itself is simply more expensive. Not because we are utilizing more actual services. (“U.S. Health Care from a Global Perspective,” 2017) Interesting finding, the U.S. also has less physicians than other countries and less physician visits. This article points out that the U.S. utilizes more expensive technology like MRI’s. The U.S. also utilizes more prescription drugs. (“U.S. Health Care from a Global Perspective,” 2017) The U.S. clearly has some problems managing costs of healthcare. Delivery is very different in other countries. The U.S. has less actual provided care to show for the money being spent. The costs are out of control. There is clear mismanagement of care based on the spiraling costs and how this impacts the availability of care to every American. At this rate of cost and delivery, quality healthcare is not sustainable. It is important that the U.S. make reforms to make healthcare more cost effective and with better outcomes. As of 2013, our infant mortality at 6.1/1000 births is higher than any of the 13 countries compared. Our life expectancy at 78.8 years is lower than all of the 13 countries compared. We also have the highest obesity rate. (“U.S. Health Care from a Global Perspective,” 2017) Again, we clearly need healthcare reforms to address these and other problems.
