The United States spends more on healthcare per person than any other country in the world. However, you still lag behind other developed countries in key areas such as life expectancy (US is at 79, Italy at 84 and Israel at 83.5, for example) and child mortality rates (US at 6.5 deaths per thousand while they do better in Australia at 3.6 and South Korea at 3.2). Why is this happening? Why do we spend so much money but still have worse health outcomes
