Next time a political turns towards the American health care system to draw inspiration for 'reforms' of the NHS, the media should point them towards the Commonwealth Fund's comparative report on Healthcare spending.
The US spends (overall, public & private) nearly double other countries do, but are in last place as regards outcomes in the comparator group fo developed countries.
Its an expensive, ineffective system driving health inequality!
