US spends more than twice as much on healthcare as similar countries but scores worse on nearly every health metric, damning report finds

“The US spends about double what peer nations spend on healthcare for their people, yet Americans on average live shorter lives, are more likely to have a chronic illness, and have higher odds of dying by suicide. 

Around half of all Americans have some kind of chronic condition, such as diabetes, cancer, asthma, cystic fibrosis, or dementia, the highest proportion of the population of any wealthy country. 

Compared to other wealthy nations like Japan, Switzerland, France, and Australia, Americans die on average three years earlier, with higher odds that their deaths could have been prevented with better access to care.”
