U.S. Healthcare Ranked Dead Last Compared To 10 Other Countries - Forbes

The countries with the best health outcomes and lower costs are those with universal healthcare through their governments. There are trade offs. Long waits for some procedures. Private options are available for those who want them. The Canadians and Europeans I know are generally happy with their systems. To me, that makes more sense than my very expensive Aetna coverage (I am not yet eligible for Medicare) where doctors go on and off the list every year. And if I end up in an emergency room, I may be liable for tens of thousands of dollars in charges because maybe that doctor does not take Aetna.
