 Isn't it ironic that the US spends more $$ per citizen than any other country, YET does not guarantee universal health coverage to all of its citizens??? Hmmm, i wonder why.

Spending on healthcare per citizen:

United States: $5,711

Norway: $3,769

Canada: $2,998

Netherlands: $2,909

Australia: $2,886

Sweden: $2,745

United Kingdom: $2,317

[the data is from 2003, but the leader to this day remains the US]

Of course only one does not provide healthcare to all it's citizens.

 It's not surprising to see that of you compare all the countries we have, the industrialised states,  more or less, agree on the same things, it shows how co-ordinated and integrated the healthcare systems are of super rich societies like US, Canada, Western Europe, Scandanavia, Australia, Japan, New Zealand.
