The problem is that most people cannot afford it. Those who can only afford to get an HMO will get slightly substandard care, and those who cannot even afford an HMO will get barely any care at all. Those who can pay cash for the services they need will get the best care in the world.
Unfortunately for the United States, the World Health Organization ranks health care systems based on the care the average person receives. And that is why we receive such a low ranking.
