What do you mean by that? The population of the US is incredibly unhealthy, but that has little to do with the healthcare system and a lot more to do with consumption habits.

Look at births - they are safer in EU. Also, there is no reason to think the difference is not in Healthcare quality in general.

Yeah, people in the US give birth older and fatter. Both are huge risk factors, and have nothing to do with the quality of medical systems.
In fact, given the BMI and age of the average mother, it's a wonder that American births are as successful as they are.

It has a lot more to do with food safety regulation.
Noone can be an expert in everything so everybody needs to fall back to authorities to advise or act in unknown fields. Blaming it on habits is like saying "why did you choose the doctor that botched the surgery?"

Do you not consider weight management and physical exercise part of health care? EG my insurance covers Ozempic, physical therapies, psychology of dieting, addiction...
