Every time US healthcare comes up the insane cost and relative poor quality is mentioned, it is met with "hmmm citation needed?" like it's not been covered to death already, then the citations are then generally ignored (like here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15136962). I do not understand why people are so defensive of such a plainly awful system
I'm asking because I'm curious how they measured outcomes. Most of the studies I've seen are pretty bad. They measure outcomes with a very blunt tool. I was curious if something better was out there.
