I think thats an interesting few facts to look at.

Does look pretty positive for the US outside of Infant mortality.

What out of pocket spending being so low.

I don't know why people keep posting stats though that largely are pointless like life expecatancy.  Which doesn't control for murder rates and other such things vs survival rates which look bad for other countries, and mortality rates for those older which... also looks back for other countries.


I mean another similar stat is crude death rate.

Where the UK has 10 deaths per 1000 people vs 8 deaths per 1000 per year.

More people per year in the UK die every year per capita.  DESPITE having lower murder rates, lower prison rates and a number of other such things.
