"The U.S. ranked fifth in coordinated care, and last in patients reporting that they have a regular doctor (84% vs. 92%-97% in other countries)."
Ужас какой!!!
"61% of U.S. patients said it was somewhat or very difficult to get care on nights or weekends, compared with 25%-59% in other countries."
И не говорите - жуткая проблема!
"U.S. ranked last overall, including last on percent of patients who have visited the emergency room for conditions that could have been treated by a regular doctor if one had been available (26% vs. 6%-21% in other countries)."
Ну и остальная подобная бредятина.
"Бредятина" - потому что оценивает "свистки и бантики" вместо конкретной работы..
А может, всё-таки, взгляните на цифры из приведённой ссылки:
"In 2004 the US spent the most per capita on hospital services, and Canada and Japan spent the least. Adjusted for differences in cost of living, inpatient acute care spending per day in the United States was nearly three times the median OECD country ($2,337) and over five times more than Japan ($419).
The US spent twice the OECD median per capita on drugs in 2004—$752 compared with $377."
