I’ve never understood why America doesn’t have a decent health care system. And then America voted for Trump, and everyone appears shocked at what he has done…

There is something very wrong with American attitudes.

America arguably offers the best healthcare in the world. If you can afford it.

The quality of care, technology, and expertise are top-tier for those with excellent insurance or deep pockets. But the system is neither free nor particularly efficient. For many, access is limited by cost, bureaucracy, and inequities. So yes, it is best care available, but not best care accessible.
