## Supporting Evidence
**Source:** OECD Health at a Glance 2025
OECD 2025 data confirms the spending-outcome paradox with precise international benchmarking: US spends $14,885 per capita (2.5x OECD average $5,967) and 17.2% of GDP (vs 9.3% OECD average), yet life expectancy is 78.4 years—2.7 years below OECD average. The preventable mortality gap (50% worse than OECD) is more than double the treatable mortality gap (23% worse), demonstrating that the primary failure is non-clinical. US clinical care quality is internationally competitive on acute conditions (AMI, stroke), but behavioral and social determinants drive the aggregate underperformance.

# The US healthcare spending/outcome paradox — world-class acute care outcomes with dramatically worse preventable mortality — is the strongest empirical confirmation that non-clinical factors dominate population health
