I would also like to see how well it's funded. For example, the UK has a good healthcare system, but can you sustain the same level for the long haul, or are you bankrupting your country providing it? |
The UK pays more than two times less for healthcare than America does. If they increased their funding to match Americas, every Brit would have a personal nurse to wipe their a$$ for them.
Here's some quick and easy to interpret stats about world healthcare.
Healthcare expenditure per capita:
USA - $6,100 UK - $2,900
Healthcare expenditure percent of GDP:
USA - 15.4 % UK - 8.1 %
