With this data, we can write a paragraph on Guatemalan Healthcare that will fulfill all the requirements of the question. I have provided a sample paragraph and included comparisons to the United States.

Public Healthcare in Guatemala is free to all citizens and is a constitutionally protected right, it offers access to basic medical services to those who may otherwise have access to healthcare. Despite this, healthcare in Guatemala is poor, at least for the middle and lower class who do not have access to private healthcare, as expressed by many citizens. This is reflected by the investments being made towards healthcare in comparison to the United States who spends 78-times more per person on healthcare, and whose DPP (doctor per 1000 patients) ratio is 2.55 compared to Guatemala's one. Lastly, despite trying to include all regions, rural services include a handful of clinics with limited services available, forcing residents to travel to larger cities or seek private medicine for decent care.
