Given the USA spends more (by some margin) on health per capita than any other country, the Q. is if that money is not prolonging lives of US citizens, what is it doing?
To which the answer is:
enriching healthcare corporations, pharmaceutical firms and, of course, the politicians who these firms 'support'.
When politicians in the UK say we need to learn form the US healthcare system, the only lesson we need to learn is to not adopt a profit-centered model!
