This has always astonished me:
In 2018, the country spent an average of $10,637 on healthcare per person, almost twice as much as other large and wealthy countries, according to data from the Kaiser Family Foundation. And yet, compared with those countries, the US had a significantly lower life expectancy and the worst healthcare quality and access.
As a nation, we usually like to think of ourselves as being "Number ONE!!", to the point of being obnoxious about it. But our insanely expensive and in many ways deficient healthcare system doesn't seem to bother us.
