Why does America have some of the best hospitals and best medical schools in the world?

If the Democrats are so convinced that our healthcare system is horrible? Private non-profit hospitals like Johns Hopkins Hospital and the Mayo Clinic are some of the best in the world (Canada and the UK don't have anything that comes remotely close) and undoubtedly the best medical schools in the world (Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Michigan, UPenn), no other country in the world has better medical schools than our top-tier schools.
 
Then, why do we not have the highest life expectancy and third world level infant and maternal mortality? These are two major indicators of quality of our health care system.

It's called access. I could live next door to the Mayo Clinic but not be able to afford it.
 
I don't think that most of the 300 million Americans will have access to places like Johns Hopkins and Mayo Clinic. Most will have access to municipally run hospitals. You cannot base a nation's health on a handful of examples.
