How the coronavirus crisis reveals the inefficiency and expense of American medicine.

How the coronavirus crisis reveals the inefficiency and expense of American medicine. The US spends more on healthcare per person than virtually anywhere else in the world - but its health outcomes are no better. The pandemic has shown up enduring issues over complexity, fragmentation, perverse incentives, over-treatment for some, and under-insurance for others. One estimate is that the US could spend $1 trillion per year less on healthcare and have the same outcomes - or even better.
