Welcome to Mayo Connect, US is not one of the top countries in health care. This article discuss some of the factors that go into rating and also what would have to happen to improve US Health Care.

This could easily become a contversial topic about politics, so want to remind members about Connect guidelines number 6:
Keep politics out of the community conversations.
○ Mayo Clinic Connect is a place to share about health experiences, to improve living with chronic conditions and health and wellbeing. Political discussions often divide us and do not build community or promote health and wellbeing
○ Don't post about politics, political viewpoints, political news stories.
○ Political and/or divisive posts will be edited or removed.

I agree that politics isn't helpful in these discussion. But what I've personally experienced healthcare over the he past 2 1/2 years leads me to believe I'm in a world of trouble. I don't believe the majority of my contacts have been positive. It's usually because doctors are limited by their specialty and there isn't one person to put it together. Primary is supposed to, but my primary and I've visited 4 last year so I can would find a good fit, do not help the patient in the areas th as t the hat person has a specialist. I also find it is nearly impossible to make an appointment with primary care doctors. It can talk in months even for established patients.
It's frustrating.
