Towards a More Effective and Equitable Healthcare System

The analysis of global and regional healthcare performance reveals significant disparities in both cost and outcomes. Countries with robust preventive care and accessible healthcare systems, such as those in the Nordic region, consistently achieve better health outcomes despite high taxes.

The U.S., despite its high healthcare spending, struggles with inefficiencies, particularly in managing chronic diseases like diabetes and obesity.
