U.S. HEALTH OUTCOMES WORSE THAN OECD NATIONS ON MOST MEASURES

Data: OECD Health at a Glance 2023 report; Chart: Axios Visuals

The U.S. performs worse than the average developed nation on 77% of health
status indicators like life expectancy, obesity and opioid mortality rate,
according to an Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development report.

Why it matters: U.S. health spending as a share of gross domestic product yet
again far outpaces the other 37 OECD nations while the country continues to have
poor outcomes, the OECD Health at a Glance 2023 report shows.

By the numbers: The U.S. ranks 33 out of 38 OECD countries for average life
expectancy, after recording one of the largest decreases between 2019 and 2021.

 * The U.S. opioid mortality rate is 223 per 1 million people compared to the
   OECD average of 30 per 1 million. The obesity rate in the U.S. is 43%
   compared to an average of 26% in OECD countries.
 * One bright spot: The U.S. smoking rate is below the OECD average. However,
   the vaping rate is above average.
 * U.S. health care spending as a percentage of GDP remained roughly flat
   compared with last year at 16.6%. That's 80% higher than the OECD average of
   9.2%.
 * Unlike the U.S., most OECD countries have universal or near-universal health
   care.

Overdose deaths are down, life expectancy is up, the odds of surviving cancer
are improving, and we're even losing weight.

The big picture: In a year defined by election-related stress, global tensions
and economic uncertainty, there's a surprisingly hopeful trend: By a few key
measures, Americans are getting healthier.

U.S. HEALTH SYSTEM EARNS POOR GRADES FOR EFFICIENCY

A chart tracking which countries ranked the highest for administrative
efficiency in health care. The UK ranked highest out of 10 countries.
Switzerland ranked lowest, and the United States ranked ninth.

The United States has one of the most inefficient health care systems among
high-income countries, according to a new report from the Commonwealth Fund.

Why it matters: Administrative hurdles like requirements that insurers sign off
on care before it's delivered cause frustrations and care delays for U.S.
patients in a health care system that produces worse health outcomes than its
peer countries.

U.S. HEALTH SPENDING HIT $4.5 TRILLION LAST YEAR


Data: Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services; Graphic: Rahul Mukherjee/Axios

Health care spending growth in the United States may be settling back into
pre-pandemic patterns, a new federal analysis of 2022 health expenditures
suggests.

The big picture: Medicare actuaries said slower spending growth last year
stemmed from the end of the federal government's COVID-19 relief payments, which
caused health spending to spike in 2020.
