If so, it's not winning, is it? Private US healthcare is winning the race to the bottom on every measure that means a damn.

I generally agree but look at the qualifications for weight loss drugs in the US vs the UK.

Getting approved for weight loss drugs is possible in the US without a ton of work. BMI of 24 and you snore a lot? Possibly covered. High cholesterol and some extra weight? Approved.

There are some things the American healthcare system does very well. Not many, but on occasion things work.
