healthcare system seems unique as compared to other advancedindustrialized nations. It
tends to spend far more on its healthcare compared to otherindustrialized states, that is, its
spending levels steadily increased over the past 30 years.However, according to scientific
research, U.S. citizens seem to have poorer well-being thanother high-income states
(Papanicolas, Woskie, & Jha, 2018). The life expectancy keepsworsening in the current years
for some groups due to the opioid crisis and other healthconditions. The uniqueness of the
U.S. healthcare performance thus tends to occur due to how itundertakes healthcare
domains such as care process, equity, healthcare outcomes, among others.This paper thus
centers on these factors that impact the U.S. healthcare system performance. Italso
compares it with the care delivery systems of other 11 industrialized countries, and why
itnever offers quality care.Comparison of the Healthcare System Performance between the
U.S. and Other NationsAccording to the Commonwealth Fund report, the U.S. healthcare
system performancegets ranked last after U.K., Australia, Netherlands, New Zealand,

the care delivery, the overall organizational performancedecreases locally, nationally, and
internationally (Papanicolas, Woskie, & Jha, 2018).Concerning the report on the care
process, the U.S. healthcare system got ranked in the fifthposition. As previously mentioned,
for a country to perform better on the care process, it musteffectively and fully pursue safe
care, prevention, patient engagement, and coordination. Butwith the U.S. care system, it
only excels in patient-doctor relation or patient engagement, andpreventive measures,

coordination measures like information flow among the junior staff and the

involves three aspects, includinggaining access to the health system via insurance coverage.

valuable care services are significant topromote and maintain health, and then prevent and

the 11 nations. The considered access factorsentail timeliness and affordability. However,
