US people pay more for health care, die sooner than people in other developed countries

Does it come back to our tort system (legal costs), disparate compensation (high profits and C-Suite pay), and arduous and artificially high barriers to qualify doctors to practice?

Those things may make a small contribution, but the problems of US health care are overwhelmingly the fault of parasitic rent extraction by the completely unproductive for-profit health insurance industry. You’re burning billions on nothing.
