Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"Close to a fifth of US GDP comes from health expenditure. That is well above other OECD nations (in per capita terms too). Yet the country has among the worst health outcomes. Americans are more likely to die younger, have multiple chronic conditions, and die from a preventable or treatable malady, relative to citizens in other rich nations.</p><p>This is worth keeping in mind each time we read about the “strong” US consumer and jobs market. Healthcare spending is the largest component of American households’ services expenditure (which drives overall consumption). As for employment, more than 40 per cent of new private sector jobs created since the start of 2023 have been in healthcare. The biggest US industries by revenue include hospitals, drug wholesalers and medical insurers.</p><p>Put simply, a significant share of the US’s “booming” economy is generated by sickness. Inefficiencies in its healthcare system may also prop up US GDP by sustaining high levels of costly healthcare-related expenditure, whether through overtreatment or the ongoing treatment of preventable illnesses."</p><p><a href="https://www.ft.com/content/fd8cd955-e03c-4d5c-8031-c9f836356a07" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">ft.com/content/fd8cd955-e03c-4</span><span class="invisible">d5c-8031-c9f836356a07</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AmericanExceptionalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmericanExceptionalism</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Healthcare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Healthcare</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Debt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Debt</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/HealthInsurance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HealthInsurance</span></a></p>

gcvsa ⭐️🔰🇺🇸 🇵🇭<p>We all know that the consequences of the American system of healthcare finance are the needless premeditated, systemic, institutionalized premature deaths and immense suffering of an uncountable number of people for the sole purpose of profits for a select few, and yet, we are still sociologically forbidden from articulating the idea that the murder of murderers is justified. <a href="https://mstdn.plus/tags/FreeLuigi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeLuigi</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.plus/tags/UniversalHealthcareNOW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UniversalHealthcareNOW</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.plus/tags/MedicareForAll" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MedicareForAll</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.plus/tags/DenyDefendDepose" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DenyDefendDepose</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.plus/tags/AmericanExceptionalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmericanExceptionalism</span></a></p>
Rob 🏳️‍🌈 RMiddleton.Art<p>There's a lot of (bad) <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/AmericanExceptionalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmericanExceptionalism</span></a> around food, such as not having bakeries in neighborhoods &amp; containerizing "fresh" foods in plastic. As holiday dinners near I'm thinking about how Americans (that I know) ruin toasts. In my life experience Americans have an absolute obsession with touching glasses, *everyone's* glass if they can, and there is NO EYE CONTACT because all eyes are on not spilling their glasses as they carefully tap every other glass reaching all over the table.</p>
