Best at turning away patients needing treatment? Best at leaving patients unattended on gurneys in the hall ways because of lack of bed space? Best at not treating elderly patients?

*...The study found that in the US, 44 per cent of people on low incomes have difficulty accessing healthcare...*

In the US, NO ONE can be turned away from emergency room care....

We don’t have a healthcare “system”, and things are just fine that way. Hidden beneath the headline is that fact that the top system, the NHS, came in tenth for patient outcomes. I’ll take the better quality of care over providing shoddy care equally to everyone.

“The ACA has helped make major strides in coverage and access to care in the US, particularly for lower-income Americans...”
Because Medicaid is such a wonderful health insurance program which guarantees full access, the best doctors, and the most advanced therapies. /src

So our poor health care is why the rich elites in the UK/Canada/EuroTrash Countries/South America/??, fly to the USA for some really poor health care and are willing to pay whatever for their poor treatment.

‘Scandal of dirty hospitals: 43,000 patients struck down by deadly superbugs on NHS wards last year
In the past three years the NHS has been forced to pay out an astonishing £20million to people who contracted the infections while on a ward’
[This is the tip of the iceberg. As many patients in the NHS—42,000—die annually of thirst. I.e.: water is withheld until their kidneys fail. Then there are those who actually die of bedsores. It goes on and on.]

Nice transition from "US sucks at access to healthcare" to "Obamacare improved access to healthcare COVERAGE"
They do then say "major strides in coverage and access to care" but the need to mention coverage when the study is on care reveals something about the author.

Bingo. The U.K. Has a legitimate death panel. The executioner won’t even let the parents spend their own money on care. The EU can keep it.

Sadly, I agree.
We’re great at technology and creating drugs to treat symptoms - instead of promoting health
Our current crony-capitalism-FDA-revolving-door-AMA system renders everything overly expensive and prevents competition.
Doesn’t mean the others are perfect...

Some time ago I took my wife to Sloan Kettering, where she was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer (she's still in remission 8yrs later PRAISE G-D ALMIGHTY!). In the waiting room we were literally surrounded by people from the Great White North and from across the pond. More recently on of the emirs from Saudi Arabia flew in to Mt Sinai for emergency open heart surgery done by a "nice Jewish doctah"

From where I sit there were seven free clinics within thirty five miles prior to Obamacare. Those clinics still exist. In effect Obamacare destroyed the world’s best health care system because now doctors seem as scarce as hen’s teeth.
To: Ennis85
Obamacare is an utter disaster. Worst healthcare system in the world.
To: Ennis85
Well well. In the UK if you are denied access, it does not count in the healthcare death rate.
Satan the deceiver.
