The U.S. Health Care System Is Terminally Broken. A Debate
Description
Is the U.S. health care system terminally broken? The United States spends more money on health care than any other nation in the world, but the system remains woefully inefficient. Consumers are fed up with soaring costs and poor outcomes, insurers rail against market instability, and providers lament rising barriers to quality care. And while government is forced to contend with enormous financial strain, employers fear that rising health care costs will reduce wages and sap their competitive edge. Some argue that the structural shortcomings of America's fragmented health care system are putting it on the road to failure. Should the United States scrap its current health care system and design a new one? Or can innovations to the existing system fix it and jolt it back to life?
