A recent Commonwealth Fund report, Mirror, Mirror 2017: International Comparison Reflects Flaws and Opportunities for Better U.S. Health Care (posted on the ASAHP Newswire on July 24), compared health care system performance in the U.S. with that of 10 other high-income countries. The U.S. ranked last. An article that appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine indicates what can be learned from the top-performing countries.
