"AI Overview
How does the quality of the U.S. health system compare to ...

Yes, studies consistently show the U.S. health care system ranks last or near last among wealthy nations, particularly in health outcomes and equity, despite spending the most per capita.

The Commonwealth Fund report found the U.S. is the only high-income country without universal health coverage, leading to significant barriers in access, higher rates of preventable deaths, and disparities for lower-income people."

They're gonna be 75% more expensive thanks to the Trump administration and our republican Congress.

One things for sure, MAGA politicians hate Americans.

Sucking is your opinion. And we know what thats worth.

Being unconstitutional is a legal matter. It's been ruled constitutional at least three times now.

Whats yer new evidence counselor?

As of September 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly upheld the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), often called Obamacare. This includes rulings in 2012, 2021, and most recently in 2025, which have rejected major constitutional challenges to the law.

You clowns want privatized healthcare quality, at the price of gov't provided healthcare. It doesn't work like that. And it's a big reason seniors have to live in a metropolitan area, the rural doctors mostly require the gap between what medicare pays and what they charge at the time of services rendered. I don't know of one doctor in my area who accepts medicare as payment in full. This leads to seniors having to pay for a supplemental policy. And for a single person these supplemental policies are around $500/month.

"This leads to seniors having to pay for a supplemental policy."

Seniors have had to pay for supplemental policies since Medicare started paying 80%.

"And for a single person these supplemental policies are around $500/month."

Where?

You're being ripped off. Supplemental plans for both the bride and I cost less than $450.

Thank goodness Americans only have to wait until 2016 when Trump enacts his healthcare reform.

MIL pays nearly $500 for hers and she's single and 82 years old.

"MIL pays nearly $500 for hers "

So ... not the average.

In what market?

As a military retiree, I get healthcare through Tricare. I think it costs me around $1200 per year. I've never used it. I have a private plan through Cigna Global that runs me $700 per month. Totally worth it.
