Not to mention higher rates of preventable diseases, lower life expectancy and these are averages across the country.

If you stratify by income then the lower end of the income scale have it far worse than equivalent cohorts in many other developed countries.

I mean sure if you are upper middle class and work for a large national or international company then healthcare is probably up there with world class but that's not a lot of people percentage wise.
