[quote=Anonymous] [quote]Is not that simple. The US pays more for health insurance, prescription drugs etc... because we are the richest nation in the world and are basically subsidizing poorer nations. If it were flat a lot of people would be dying in Africa because they could not afford medications. For example if you buy a text book int he US it will always be 20 bucks more than the exact same one in India because of cost of living. [/quote] This is not accurate. When you normalize for cost of living, the US still pays much more for health care than other countries (as a percentage of GDP). And despite paying so much, has relatively low rankings for measures of health such as life expectancy, preventable deaths, etc. [/quote]
