When it comes to Measures of Access, Equity, Quality, Efficiency, and Healthy Lives.

In 2011 the United States spent an average of $8,508 per person on healthcare while the United Kingdom spent an average $3,406.

Yet, even though the United States spends more per person they are ranked last.

I believe this is because we are not spending the money wisely and it is going to the incorrect places.

Efficiency is the reason why we are not getting every penny when it comes to effective spending on healthcare.

The U.S ranks last, due to low marks on the time and dollars spent dealing with insurance administration, lack of communication among health care providers, and duplicative medical testing. Forty percent of U.S. adults who had visited an emergency room reported they could have been treated by a regular doctor, had one been available. This is more than double the rate of patients in the U.K. (16%).

Have no fear effective measures are being implemented in order for the United States to be a smarter spender when it comes to patient care and health.

Bills such as the Affordable Care Act and other practices on the lower levels can cause the United States stock to rise when it comes to healthcare.

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has three primary goals: expand access to health insurance, protect patients against arbitrary actions by insurance companies, and reduce costs.
