Because health comes first, a great nation can’t compromise with it

That's a nice belief. How does it explain things like:

"U.S. Healthcare Ranked Dead Last Compared To 10 Other Countries" - https://www.forbes.com/sites/danmunro/2014/06/16/u-s-healthc... .

"Ranking 37th — Measuring the Performance of the U.S. Health Care System" - http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp0910064

"The U.S. spends more on healthcare than any other country — but not with better health outcomes" - http://beta.latimes.com/nation/la-na-healthcare-comparison-2...

If heath comes first, why don't we have better healthcare for all that money we spend on it?
