Looking for a bargain? You won’t find it in health care. Particularly in the United States, where Americans spend more each year, but somehow have less to show for it.
According to a report from the Commonwealth Fund in early 2020, the United States spent nearly twice as much on health care as other wealthy nations (Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and Canada). Despite this high price tag, the United States saw the lowest life expectancy and highest suicide rates among these countries.
