The United States of America is ranked 37 out of 190 in top health care systems in the world. These systems are ranked by quality, access, and cost. Our insurance is a very flawed system and is a disgrace when compared to several other countries.

You are left in a panic and want to do everything possible in order to insure their safety, but then you realize that they are not covered. They weren’t able to get the healthcare that they needed to save their life, so you were left there helpless. You were forced to watch them suffer because they were unable to pay for the very simple treatment that they needed
nation, that is full of independent people. This is great, it leads to many good inventions and progressive ideas. But when it comes to the way healthcare works, America is lacking compared to the rest of the first world countries. The fully privatized health insurance leaves people of lower income without the access to the great healthcare we as Americans deserve. So, I think that America’s healthcare system should be rebuilt where everyone can go to the doctors without fear of the outrageous pricing
