Money doesn’t always buy healthiness.
The U.S. spends more on health care than 10 other countries in a study by The Commonwealth Fund, but was found to have the worst health-care system.
Health-care spending accounts for 16.6 percent of the U.S. gross domestic product, 5 percentage points more than Switzerland, the next closest country. Yet in a measure of health-care system performance among 11 high-income nations, the U.S. ranked dead last.
