The US does poorly in almost every area of health care as compared to the rest of the industrialized world, including life expectancy, which is one indicator of how well emergency care does. So, I don't see how what you are saying has any basis in reality. The reason the US spends so much on health care is partly because our system discourages wellness care, and partly because our system wastes 10-30% of its money on paper work and profits for insurance companies.

Health care costs have been rising steadily for the last 10 years. A lot of companies, for example, are dropping health insurance because it costs too much.
