| Abstract: | PURPOSE: The US has the most expensive health care system among the developed countries,
however, the higher prices that its citizens pay do not seem associated with a better quality.
The scope of this paper is to analyze this complex relation price/quality and recall some
important historical events to understand its fragmented system as well as the prohibitive
prices of its doctors. DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: Using a graphical analysis on published data we came to a conclusion that the US Health Care System although, it is considered among the most developed systems in the world it needs improvements. FINDINGS: US health care is expensive and inferior to other advanced nations health care. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: Expensiveness does not guarantee higher quality in health care. ORIGINALITY/VALUE: Analysing the trends in US healthcare providing an explanation for its higher costs based on published data. |
