On our last episode, we talked about direct to consumer advertising of pharmaceutical products in America, but this is just one factor that impacts prescribing practices in America.
The United States lags behind many peer countries in various health outcomes, including life expectancy, infant mortality, and chronic disease prevalence.
The United States spends significantly more on healthcare than peer countries, both per capita and as a percentage of GDP. Despite this higher expenditure, healthcare outcomes in the U.S. do not outperform those of peer countries.
On today’s episode, we will explore medication prescribing practices in America and how those practices are impacting the health of Americans.
