Is American Healthcare superior to the rest of the world?

[Texanballer]

Is it? What do you all know about the healthcare offered in other countries? If it is superior now i know why we pay for it.

Anyways my city Houston has the MD Anderson Cancer center which is the best hospital for cancer patients in the U.S, but i am not sure if it is the best in the world. I do know that people from other countries do go there for treatment.

No, it's trash here. Healthcare in most European countries is far superior to our healthcare.

If you are extremely wealthy it is the best in the entire world. If you are not then you better hope that you have decent insurance and that you don't have a chronic condition that will drain the insurance.

If you got money, yes.

But beware of the pharmaceutical drug pushers masquerading as "doctors"...

America is a ****hole when it comes to top down corruption.

640,754,000,000 dollars spent so far this year on Medicare and Medicaid. Providing health care to Americans, young and old, with our tax dollars.
Not enough, apparently.
Either that, or it's spent with extreme efficiency, like the way Amtrak is run (at a loss of a billion and a half per year, courtesy of our Federal Government.)
