Recommendations for improving the U.S. healthcare system include expanding insurance coverage, reducing patient expenses, and investing in social wellbeing.

Reginald Williams II of The Commonwealth Fund stated that America can enhance its health system with proven strategies and smart investments.

The report emphasizes critical issues such as high costs, poor access to care, and lack of quality treatment across various demographics.

Voter concerns about healthcare are significant, with many indicating that the cost of healthcare is their top concern ahead of the upcoming presidential election.
