Trump claims US outspends on healthcare globally
The claim: Trump said the US spends more money on healthcare than any other country in the world.
What Trump said:
“We have a public health system that does not deliver in times of disaster, yet more money is spent on it than any country anywhere in the world.”
The facts: Trump is correct. The US does spend more on healthcare per capita, almost twice the average of other wealthy countries.
WHAT NEEDS TO BE ADDED: US Healthcare outcomes are among the worst of the "wealthy nations" - We're Number 12 in life expectancy. Maternal Mortality -#64 Cardiovascualr dsease- # 5
Why is the President proud that we are wasting so much money?
