Usually it is believed that the people an area having more healthcare facilities would be healthier and long-lived. Nevertheless, according to Dr. Fisher the fact is just opposite to this viewpoint. He further holds that there is considerably increased risk of death if treatment is being carried out in high-cost system.
Moreover, the U.S. healthcare system has been plagued with certain drawbacks too. The fact is U.S. healthcare system offers doctors, hospitals and companies massive financial benefits to provide more and more care.
