The United States is facing a healthcare crisis. While the U.S. has advanced medical technology and research, the cost of healthcare and insurance is rising faster than inflation and is the number one reason for bankruptcies. The U.S. healthcare system ranks 26th in the world according to WHO fundamentals of cost, access, and outcomes. Many Americans support a single-payer system like other countries have to help reduce costs and ensure universal coverage. Potential solutions include introducing drug review boards, reducing drug company monopolies, and making health insurance mandatory.
