PrintAre Americans ready to take up the cause of better-quality health care?
A new campaign, Care About Your Care, aims to get consumers fired up about the growing body of research that shows that health care in the U.S. is uneven at best and wasteful at worst. Studies in recent years have concluded that Americans get recommended care such as immunizations and cancer screenings only 55% of the time, and that about 30% of the U.S. health-care dollar is spent on products and services that don’t improve health, such as unnecessary X-rays.
