Working of the medical system in USA:
Unlike most developed nations, the US health system does not provide health care to the country's entire population. Instead, most citizens are covered by a combination of private insurance and various federal and state programs.
Patients pay monthly health insurance fees to ensure that they will be covered when they need to go to the doctor, clinic or hospital. Insurance providers cover thousands of patients, so they are able to negotiate with health care providers for reduced fees and then pay for services.There is no universal healthcare in US.
The U.S. government does not provide health benefits to citizens or visitors. Any time you get medical care, someone has to pay for it.
U.S.does not have the most advanced medicine:
The United States ranked 21th in choice, despite the availability of most new medical advancements. This is because choice encompasses more than just new treatment availability; it also includes the affordability of health insurance and the freedom to choose healthcare services.
The United States healthcare system is complex and most costs are market driven. High, unregulated prescription drug costs and healthcare providers' salaries rank higher than in other western nations, and hospital care accounts for 31% of the nation's healthcare costs.
The US health-care model relies on a direct-fee system and private health insurance. This model has been criticized for contributing to high health-care costs, high rates of uninsured individuals, and high rates of health problems in comparison to the situation in other Western nations.
US was ranked at 11th position in Overall ranking of Health Care System Performance in 11 Industrialized Nations.
