A very clear animation from Our World in Data where you can see how, since the nineties:

- the costs of US health care outpaces that of its peers

- but life expectancy in the US stays further and further behind that of its peers.

I wonder what the graph would look like when you offset life expectancy against profit per insured person. Most likely very similar.

Life expectancy vs. health expenditure

The period life expectancy at birth, in a given year. Health expenditure includes all financing schemes and covers all aspects of healthcare. This data is adjusted for inflation and differences in living costs between countries.

In other 'Merican health care adventures, I have learned that my prescriptions have fallen into what the insurance company calls "the donut hole," and I'll be responsible for 25% of my pharmacy co-pays in the future. Which dings me for over $1000 additional out-of-pocket between now and end-of-year. 'Merican "staying alive" payments and red-tape are AWESOME! Thanks, Republicans!
