    Main Results:

    • Poll data confirms a convergence of American social ethics with international norms.
    • Significant divergence identified in healthcare system financing, access, and delivery models when compared internationally.
    • Preliminary analysis suggests historical, political, and economic factors may explain the healthcare system's unique trajectory.

    Conclusions:

    • The alignment of social ethics suggests a potential for healthcare reform in the US.
    • The divergence in healthcare systems highlights the influence of non-social factors on policy.
    • Further research is needed to fully understand and address the complexities of the American healthcare system.
