Which Country Has the World’s Best Health Care? A Conversation with Zeke Emanuel

The United States spends more than any other nation, nearly $4 trillion annually, on health care. Yet, for all that expense, the American health care system is not ranked #1—not even close. So, where can excellence in health care be found around the world? To answer this question, renowned doctor and bioethicist Ezekiel Emanuel analyzed 11 different health care systems for his new book, Which Country Has the World's Best Health Care?, comparing them based on dimensions such as consumer-friendliness, choice of providers, innovation, generosity of coverage, and equality of care. On June 25, Dr. Emanuel joined #AspenIdeasHealth to discuss how these different health care models stack up and key lessons for health reform in the United States. In conversation with Margot Sanger-Katz of The New York Times. For more Aspen Ideas: Health 20/20 conversations, please visit www.aspenideashealth.org.
