Comparing Costs

Based on a graph shown on PBS, the United States is leading in the most expensive health care in the world with 15.3% of gross domestic production going to it. It is almost double in what Japan pays, only 8%. The United Kingdom has low percentages like Japan, and Switzerland and Taiwan are hovering around 10%. However, what's interesting is that the United States has the lowest life expectancy rate out of all the countries listed, and we think we have it hard.

I think I would either want Japan's or Switzerland's system. Japan's because it has been so successful (although implementing it with unhealthy Americans would be interesting) and Switzerland's because they are always getting everything right and we should be more like them.
