A study comparing US healthcare with other western countries found that Americans spend more on healthcare but die four years earlier on average. The US has the highest rate of preventable and treatable deaths and excess deaths during the pandemic for people under 75. The Commonwealth Fund report states that Americans have the shortest lifespan and the most avoidable deaths, indicating a failure to keep people healthy and achieve equitable growth. The US healthcare system continues to fall short in fulfilling its obligation to prioritize the health of its population despite higher spending compared to other countries.
