The U.S. spends about 18% of its GDP on health care. That's nearly double what many other high-income countries spend, even though our health outcomes aren't better.

Meanwhile, public frustration is real. Surveys show many Americans feel the system isn't meeting their needs.



This limited series is produced in partnership with AcademyHealth, and aims to address the complicated pain points in the American healthcare system. Special thanks to Lauren Adams, Tess Bernhard, and the AcademyHealth comms team for working with us to develop and produce this series.
