U.S. Health Care from a Global Perspective, 2022: Accelerating Spending, Worsening Outcomes

Americans see physicians less often than people in most other countries and have the lowest rate of practicing physicians and hospital beds per 1,000 population. The U.S. has the lowest life expectancy at birth, the highest death rates for avoidable or treatable conditions, the highest maternal and infant mortality, and among the highest suicide rates.
