Why does the US rank bottom among industrialized nations in almost every health and healthcare indicator?

#1 - Link Please....

#2 - I agree with an earlier answer, you must take into account what group is formulating this survey

#3 - If it's so bad, then why do the elite of other nations constantly come here to have major operations?

#4 - I hope you're not insinuating that Obamacare will fix any of these woes... The death-panels in Obamacare will certainly lower the average life expectancy...

#5 - I agree that our medical system could and should be better, but I believe that having LESS regulations would help much more than an increase in regulations...

The US Healthcare industry is among the strongest in the world. Most emerging tech in the medical industry comes from the USA. However, the FDA interrupts and gets its slice of the pie before a new operation or drug can ever be administered. There's one operation that has been pending approval by the FDA for at least 15 years. It's been done in Europe for 10 years, but it's our government holding up that procedure here, not our medical system.

Also, life expectancy is a result of lifestyle more than health care, as are obesity.

Everyone in America has instant access to healthcare, so that comment is ignorant.

Efficiency to cost ratio....Really? You consider that a measure of healthcare? There is no efficiency in socialized countries.

i think of there could be a hollow in the information in that comparisons of what diverse worldwide places pay in money does not say something approximately what's spent per guy or woman in each and each united states of america nor what the money is spent on. working example what share MRI's of everybody is funded in Europe and Canada. yet another attention is our criminal device. pass to a attorney right here after a site visitors twist of destiny and watch the diagnostics pass in the process the roof. whether they come again unfavourable, they are paid for and that gets lumped in. All deaths are are counted evem those not bearing directly to a scientific undertaking. There are additionally comments that the government structures do not prefer to authorize diagnostics too at as quickly as. you quite ought to ascertain the media shops in those worldwide places to verify if the quite skewed information help what's being stated. I did, i've got additionally been over there, I even have adequate formal information training to properly known they are in a position to quite be skewed, I see how social protection, medicare, medicaid have fee extra suitable than expected (which additionally is going into the numbers of what we pay, approximately 40% of what we pay) and so i'm skeptical approximately what we are being fed. additionally be conscious that we presently import ill people from 0.33 international worldwide places to spice up unfavourable outcomes.

Because legal bribery - the Supreme Court sanctioned practice of donating vast sums of money to a particular candidate and receiving a quid pro quo in return - makes it impossible to legislate a comprehensive and logical solution. For example, Joe Wilson, the neocon who became infamous for shouting in Congress that Obama was a liar during the last congressional health care struggle, was bought and paid for by the health care industry. Not only were they his #1 source of campaign cash, his wife was also employed by a health care consulting firm.

We are the most sparsely populated of the industrialize nation. It's hard for people in North Dakota to get access to medicine. City states have the highest for that reason.

Because the health care system in the USA is cost based and it has become cost prohibitive to most people and insurance companies dictate health policies to patients.

You need to look at who actually gathers that information

because only the rich can afford it which the GOP supports they worship the rich
