Question

How does the fact that the U.S spends so much on healthcare because the drugs, hospital service, and diagnostic test are so expensive, and the doctors get paid so much more resonate with you?

Answer 1

The United States is spending more on health care services compared to other nations. Comparing to other nations, the U.S health care services have no difference. In fact, the length of stay in the hospital, visits of physicians are comparatively low in the U.S. But the low -income, uninsurance leads to demand in health care and increases the utilization rates. On another side, the consultation with the specialists becomes ultimate in the health care services which increase the earning of specialist comparing to the general physician. The U.S also spending more on pharmaceuticals and rise of drug cost, cost of surgery makes expenses for the people. Cost of Medical education is also high which increases the quality of health care services, but lack in easy access to health care services, health care disparities, long waiting times, etc. This can be rectified through the change of policymaking, administrative policies, and legislature.
