While the United States has largely considered itself as the greatest country in the world for the last few decades, the statistics tell us that there are areas where things can definitely be improved.
In military might and defence spending the U.S. is undisputedly number one. But in other areas, more important aspects of human wellbeing such as education, life expectancy, happiness, gender and income equality and healthcare, there are more mixed results.
The U.S. healthcare system in particular is a continuing source of bafflement for many, who are accustomed to a degree of protection against the double disaster of poor health followed by financial ruin.
While American hospitals and medical facilities are world class, they are also incredibly expensive and available only to those able to afford them. We at Bored Panda have compiled a list of examples that highlight the inadequacies of the current healthcare system, while polarised politicians continue to argue about their vision for its future. Scroll down to check them out below, and stay healthy over there in America, y’all.
#4 All You Need To Know About American Healthcare System Is That There's A Popular TV Series Where A Man Turns To Cooking Industrial Quantities Of Crystal Meth In Order To Pay For His Hospital Bills
#5 Medical Treatment Is A Privelege
Because their constitution is outdated. The second amendment made sense when America didn't had an army to defend their country against foreign aggressors, in this case, the British. In some states it was mandatory to have gun, because there was no army...now it's a nonsense, in my opinion.

#7 No, That’s Unamerican
That's nice. You haven't free healthcare system, you haven't, a real and full-paid 20-30 days holiday (evey year) at work. What else?
#9 At Least We’re First In Something
Here in Finland every citizen have health insurace because it is paid from the taxes. And because of that insurance also the poor people can afford healthcare. It is funny to see when some Finnish people complain that a prescription drug is 'too expensive' if it costs over 30 euros per month when in USA the exactly same drug is usually 3 to 10 times more expensive.
#11 American Healthcare
That's just terrible and so sad... Where is the compassion in the US or does that come at a steep price too?
#15 The American Healthcare System Be Like

#21 Important Questions
Come on, now... "If a tree falls in a forest and no one hears, does it make a sound" is sooo 2016
#23 Crowdfunding For Health Care
Dystopia is definitely the right word. It's a sick society that makes people choose between paying and dying.
#24 Universal Healthcare
Why does this not have any comments this was one of the few that actually made me lol
#27 American Healthcare
HELLO people, the picture is meant to be dry humour, but its gone whoooosh way over some heads here.
#29 Pro-Life
Serious question to citizens of USA, do you really believe your nation is the greatest? And if so why? This isn't a dig or anything but most of us in the rest of the world really don't see why. I would like to understand.
#30 I Work In A Hospital Laboratory. I Ordered A Pack Of These Cheap Plastic Rulers From Ebay For About $6. Our Medical Supplier Charges More Than $80 For The Exact Same Rulers. This Is Why Health Care Costs Are Out Of Control
This is so true and also applies to our federal government. The ridiculous prices they'll pay for a chair, a stapler or whoknowswhat is appalling
#31 People Are Calling Uber To Be Taken To The Emergency Room Instead Of Ambulances
#32 Paul Ryan Gives Presentation On Trumpcare
Maybe trumpcare should be renamed to "weapons of mass destruction" lol. Europe should intervene the same way as the US is doing in the middle east for killing tons of their innocent citizens.
#35 Welcome To The Usa
And watch them on tv grinning as they high-five each other over voting for legislation that kills us.
#38 The Only Insurance I Can Afford In America
I wish you no major health concerns like No fractures, cancer, heart attacks, etc.
#40 This Is The Cost Of A Rattlesnake Bite In America
This makes it seem like it's easier to survive medical issues in a developing continent like africa than it is in a western "developed" continent like america... Maybe america is the real developing continent...
#41 I Forgot My Meds And Had An Anxiety Attack At Work. My Boss Freaked Out And Called 911. Just Got The Bill Today, For Less Than 2 Hours Of Care And A Xanax. F*ck American Healthcare
#42 My Cousins Child Birth Bill From The Hospital In The USA. Never Seen Anything This High
Even tne mist expensive penthouses, villas, etc are not that expensive.... I'm assuming you gave birth in a palace (from a fairy tale by the price of it)
#47 This Is How I Imagine The USA Health System Works
Ha! That's a picture from the UK, where we get babies delivered for free AND get a handshake from an unemployed ex prime minister every single time.
