Although the United States spends 16 percent of its gross domestic product on health care, more than 46 million people have no insurance coverage, while one in four Americans report difficulty paying for medical care. Indeed, the U.S. health care system, despite being the most expensive health care system in the world, ranked thirty-seventh in a comprehensive World Health Organization report.

Cross-cultural comparison is listed as a subject heading for this book. Is this a Library of Congress subject heading?
@Alice - Thank you for the question. To find the answer, I looked at the MARC view for this item and saw that “Cross-cultural comparison” is listed in field “650″ with an indicator of “22″. According to the Library of Congress, this denotes a “secondary” subject heading of the category “Medical Subject Headings”. So, it is not a Library of Congress subject heading. I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
