COVID-19 Lessons from the US Healthcare System
March 4, 2021 Leave a comment
These are some of the main thoughts and lessons about healthcare in the US:
- The US has the worst healthcare and health indices of advanced economies, and getting worse.
- The US healthcare excludes from participation or provides low quality service to important segments of the population, including the unemployed, the poor, black and brown people, the elderly…
- The US, as demonstrated by the mass vaccination failure, doesn’t have a public health system, it has a highly segmented, for profit, private health system, with limited access of the whole population
- The US healthcare system is well known to have the most expensive system in advanced economies
- The best healthcare systems in the world are national publicly-owned or directed systems.
- One of the political parties doesn’t care about the serious deficiencies of the US healthcare system, and have no intention to improve it.
