Maximized Living New Rankings for US Healthcare System

The American healthcare system continues to crumble. Bankruptcy due to medical expenses is at an all time high. While the health of Americans is at an all time low. From medical errors, unnecessary procedures, and drug prescription side effects to increases in heart disease, cancer, and degenerative illness, the truth continues to be uncovered. Startling statistics are being yanked from the most respected scientific journals to prove our medical system is clearly not only not getting people well, it is harming the people more than it is helping.

The latest report published in Health Affairs reveals the United States is 49th in life expectancy and rank 41st in infant mortality rates. If those numbers don’t strike a nerve with you, remember there are people you know putting their faith in life in the hands of our healthcare system. In America, we put the most money into healthcare. We have the best hospitals, best technology, put most money put towards medical research, and our rankings have dropped 20 spots in the last seven years! How is that possible The answer is simple. The system is broken and it does not work at getting people well. In fact, the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine described the American healthcare system this way; The American healthcare system is at once the most expensive and the most inadequate system in the developed world.
