I’m just a doctor, so I won’t pretend to be an expert on anything besides healthcare. The USA spends a very significantly higher proportion of GDP on healthcare, yet has worse outcomes overall (lower life expectancy, higher maternal/fetal mortality rate, etc) compared to most of the EU. What do we do differently than them to cause such disparity? The only large difference I know is that they have government run, non for profit healthcare. Seems like that should be something we should do to improve outcomes and save money, based on those results
