Abstract

Medical bills contribute to more than two-thirds of bankruptcies in the United States. Many question whether the high cost of health care is worth the benefits. Americans also disparage over the relatively poor performance of the U.S. healthcare system compared to those of other developed countries who spend less on healthcare. At nearly 20% of GDP, the United States spends almost twice as much as countries of similar wealth. Switzerland and Germany come in second place, both at about 11% of GDP.
