The only thing more useful than graphs with an unlabeled axis are graphs with no title. "Oh yeah! Every year the USA eight and a half thousand dollars, but Turkey only nine hundred dollars!"

The first chart is total health expenditure per capita. I forgot that this isn't 4chan and that people can't read filenames here. :marseybrainlet:

So the implication here that per-capita spending on healthcare is a strong indicator of a healthcare system's robustness, where lower is better, but your own graph seems to disprove that. The reason Norwegians spend 6x more money on healthcare than Turkish people obviously isn't that Turkey has a better healthcare system, it's just that Norwegians have way more money and healthcare is one of the things that they spend that money on. Similar, US-Americans may spend ~50% more on healthcare than Norwegians, but a quick Google says the median household income is ~90% more in the USA, so of course they do.

Yeah having it as anything other than % GDP isn't very descriptive. But US is still above most euros in % GDP if memory serves.

The implication is that life expectancy per spending on healthcare is a strong indicator of a healthcare system's efficiency.

Oh, I thought this was just a BMI chart. I guess it's the same thing.

There are several related problems:

  • Americans buy more healthcare and higher quality. For example, burgers get an annual checkup at twice the rate as krauts. We have many more MRI machines per capita.

  • The marginal value of American healthcare spending is roughly zero. That is, Americans buy healthcare well beyond the point it does anything. There are many ways to interpret this, but one is that Americans have a lot of disposable income and futiley burn money to stave off the reaper.

  • Americans are fat, drive fast, and shoot each other. Vermont has a higher murder rate than Bulgaria.
