Healthcare spending in the developed world.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_care_system
As you can see the US Government spends far less on healthcare compared to other developed countries relying more on the private sector and yet it's also far less efficient. What a shame. With the size of the US GDP it should have had by far the best healthcare system in the world if it had a universal healthcare system in place like all other advanced nations. But unfortunately due to the lobbying and buying out of US politicians by the medical insurance lobby as well as those ideologically opposed to any idea of helping out others using the State (though not opposed when it comes to other services such as the Police, Fire fighters, Postal Service etc), many Americans are suffering as a result.
