Agree completely with this article. I would post a comparative story about the fixed price of a knee replacement in the Netherlands versus the same knee replacement in the States. Summarizing, this knee replacement in the Netherlands is always around $15k. In the States, it’s anybodies guess. Could be $45k, could be $100k depending on insurance, location, brand of knee replacement, etc etc.

But hey, we have waterfalls in the lobbies of our health resorts.

“Now combine this with the fact that we in the U.S. are paying an enormous excess over those other countries on health care. In the U.S., we spend on average $12,914 per person per year on health care, whereas that figure in the other comparable countries is $6,125. That comes to $6,800 more per person—and if you multiply that by 334 million Americans, we are spending an excess $2.3 trillion a year on health care—and getting poorer results.”
