A new report states that Obamacare ranks last among all high-income nations in terms of healthcare systems, despite the fact that the United States spends more money on healthcare than any other country in the world. The analysis, which compared the healthcare systems of ten high-income countries, used data gathered from the World Health Organization and other sources dating back to 2020.
The evaluation focused on five key healthcare measures: health equity, access to care, care process, administrative efficiency, and health outcomes. Countries were ranked based on their overall score: Australia, Netherlands, United Kingdom, New Zealand, France, Sweden, Canada, Switzerland, Germany, and the United States, which came in last place.
The report’s findings highlighted that the United States performs the lowest in health system metrics, such as access to care and health outcomes. However, it does perform relatively well in the care process category.
Despite its high financial investment in healthcare—surpassing all other nations in the study—the United States also exhibits poor performance, particularly in life expectancy and avoidable deaths. Conversely, Australia and the Netherlands—which lead the rankings—spend the least on healthcare among the analyzed countries.
The report suggests that while differences in performance among the countries studied are typically minor overall, the stark contrast with the American healthcare system’s lower performance is significant. This appears to cast doubt on Democrat claims that Obamacare has improved healthcare access and health outcomes for American citizens.
