"Compared to peer nations, the U.S. has among the highest number of hospitalizations from preventable causes and the highest rate of avoidable deaths."
"The U.S. spends more on health care as a share of the economy — nearly twice as much as the average OECD country — yet has the lowest life expectancy and highest suicide rates among the 11 nations."
"The U.S. has the highest chronic disease burden and an obesity rate that is two times higher than the OECD average."
"Americans had fewer physician visits than peers in most countries, which may be related to a low supply of physicians in the U.S."
"Americans use some expensive technologies, such as MRIs, and specialized procedures, such as hip replacements, more often than our peers."
"The U.S. outperforms its peers in terms of preventive measures — it has the one of the highest rates of breast cancer screening among women ages 50 to 69 and the second-highest rate (after the U.K.) of flu vaccinations among people age 65 and older."
The US consistently over treats people which results in about $760 billion to $935 billion.
Again this data illustrates that even though America spends the most on health care they consistently see worse outcomes. Research has shown that higher prices are the main reason why the US spends so much money on healthcare.
