Considering the US already has some of the highest infant mortality in the developed world, this is not good.
…b-b-but you’ve got the best healthcare system in the world - it’s why you pay so much. It’s certainly not delivering comparable outcomes to Qatar and Lebanon for 3x and 8x the cost respectively, or 50% more than the next most expensive country.
I mean, thankfully I live in the UK, so we still have the NHS (for now). I do feel extremely sorry for our American cousins, though. Their healthcare (insurance) system is fucked.
The NHS has its flaws, but I’m not terrified of a financially crippling injury when visiting the UK…
You have it half right.
Our healthcare system is fucked.
Our insurance system is quite profitable.
