Poor Scores for U.S. Health and Mental Health Care

Poor Scores for U.S. Health and Mental Health Care Systems on New National Scorecard: "A new report on U.S. health care shows that the system falls far short of what it could achieve. On a national scorecard of 37 indicators, the overall score was 66 out of 100, with wide gaps between the best and worst states. The findings indicate that improved performance in key areas would save an estimated 100,000 to 150,000 lives annually and $50 to $100 billion in health care spending. "
