It’s no secret that the United States has a terrible and expensive healthcare system, and it’s the only country without a single-payer healthcare system among similarly developed nations. According to The Commonwealth Fund, a private foundation looking to establish a high-performing healthcare system, Americans spend more as a share of GDP and per person than other high-income nations. Moreover, life expectancy is lowest in the US, while deaths from treatable and avoidable conditions, maternal and infant mortality, and suicide rates are highest.
