I wanted to take a look at the OECD health care spending data by country. If you take a look the US is really an outlier country, and not in a good way.

Here’s a spreadsheet where you can explore the data

The source data is from here: https://data.oecd.org/healthres/health-spending.htm

You can view the data here as well:

The OECD average per capita spending on health care from 2019 was $4,224. The US is at $11,071, 2.62 times the average.
