In this chapter, Mark Britnell takes a close look at the American healthcare system. He analyses the openly polarized American society, and how this is reflected in its health systems. American healthcare can deliver the finest service to some, and yet leave millions without insurance. It is the only OECD country without universal health coverage but leads the world in research. He looks at the United States’s slightly low density of physicians with 2.6 per 1,000 population compared with the OECD average of 3.0, and how this aggregate figure hides shortfalls and surpluses across the country spanning specialties, regions, and income brackets.
