Pretty harsh assessment, but that's what the numbers are saying.  It's what the number and kind of prescription drugs is telling us.  Aren't we supposed to have the "Best Healthcare System in the World"?  The truth is that Americans rank 37th out of 40 industrialized nations.  We've lost 6 years of life expectancy in the past few years because of chronic illnesses, Covid and the fentanyl crisis.  Not only do we have terrible health, obesity and skyrocketing levels of heart disease and cancer, but we're paying more than twice as much money as every other country.  We're not only not getting our money's worth, we're paying double and getting half the results.  It's a catastrophe.  Chronic Disease is also the biggest money making machine on the planet.  We spend close if not over 4 Trillion dollars a year on this "sickness care", not really "healthcare".  Let's face it folks, modern medicine is failing Americans.  There are certainly plenty of life saving situations where medical care is the best in the world, especially in orthopedics and life-saving instances.  Where it fails is helping people regain and maintain their health.  It's the wrong tool for the job.  What is the right tool for the job that Americans need to turn to?  Wellness, vitalism, good nutrition, regular exercise, mindfulness and other natural means of caring for oneself.  American medicine gets virtually no training in wellness or "lifestyle education".  Let's face it, there's huge money in getting people on medications for an indefinite period of time that don't ever resolve the conditions they're supposedly treating. Add that to the fact that "Big Pharma" controls the research studies and can manipulate outcomes, has 3 lobbyists for every member of Congress and has the full support of the media because it pours billions of dollars into advertising its products.  Why will the media ever want to change such a profitable situation?  Big Pharma is the bread and butter of Big Media so they can never be counted on to bring accountability and question the outcomes drugs are delivering to Americans.  "Sickening", How Big Pharma Broke American Healthcare, is an incredible book by MD, John Abramson and explains situation after situation where the drug industry has taken over control of our culture, goverment and media.
