Post by correctanswer »

Health care is a complex system in any country, but the U.S. has
the distinction of spending more on health care than any country in
the world and yet has lower outcomes than most developed countries.
In 2020, the U.S. spent $11,945 per capita (per person) on health
care. The next closest country in spending was Switzerland at
$7,138 per capita (Wager, Ortiliza & Cox, 2022). Unfortunately,
for all this spending, the U.S. ranked last among other high-income
countries on health outcomes (Schneider, et. al., 2021).
So, is the cost of the U.S. health care system a "system
thinking " problem? If not what is the cause?
