Our health care is too expensive for what we get. We should follow the leaders, such as the Netherlands, not the USA in both administration and education. For example, providers other than doctors should have more responsibility. Doctor's wages should be lower. Medical schools should choose applicants from high school or first year college rather than having applicants apply for several years.
Good luck with that. I've found that doctors are too busy to give "just a checkup" for adults. If you show up to the doctor's office and say "I'd like a checkup," they will respond with "What's wrong?" You CLEARLY aren't in a doctor's office if nothing is wrong, because then you'd just be wasting the doctor's time!
I don't think I've been in a doctor's office for six or seven years.
Affirmative action designates spots to less qualified individuals. When they can't hack it in medical school they drop out. Or worse the standards are lowered and you end up with unqualified doctors. Spots are reserved for women who are more likely to quit to raise families. Spots go to foreigners with either falsified credentials, or are otherwise more prone to cheating and are once again unqualified. If they manage to graduate they take their degree home or move somewhere more desirable. If they stay they refuse to work in rural areas.
Keep this up for the past 40+ years and wonder why you have a doctor shortage and a low quality healthcare system.
Why the fuck is this a metric? Who determines what this even means?

They measured access to healthcare for lower and higher income individuals for their equity score.

The Netherlands spend even more than we do per capita.

Good info.
I think the system works for the obviously healthy all you need are yearly check ups
Probably for the very sick who get bumped up for care
However it's probably a nightmare for anyone in between. Thankfully I have yet to require anything major from it.
