US needs to think outside its borders

Congress should be reminded that US ranks near bottom in health and ranks highest in GDP spent on health care. To find a solution, US needs to think outside its borders; they need to adopt ideas used from other countries. Does US believe they are a privilege, invincible, free country that shouldn’t have to borrow ideas from any one; the best countries know how to use their resources most effectively. Whatever happened to learning from your mistakes? Also, what about learning from others’ mistakes? In US, majority of people lack health care, people are going bankrupted from health care, people are receiving unnecessary health care (surgery, tests, etc), yet spends most on health care. DUH, there is something wrong with the US health care system. Taking a look at other countries, France, for example, was once ranked first for the best health care system in the world while still having a lower GDP on health care than US. Switzerland, once had a fragmented system reformed itself to having good health care, also while still having a lower GDP on health care than US. Where is all the money going, if not to help the patients? Physicians’ salaries, inefficient administration, unnecessary services, malpractice, specialty physicians, etc? US should take a look at Taiwan, who again, once a fragment health care system, modeled from other countries, learned from what didn’t work, and created a brand new system. If US continues to keep to itself, they are just going to invest more into a broken health care system and with poorer health status. So duh, is it not obvious that they should adopt ideas from abroad?
