The dramatic increase in health-care spending in the United States
since 1960 is a major reason that Americans are living longer, making
the world's most expensive health-care system a good value despite its
high costs, according to an academic study being released today.

He quit doing dracula movies? Amazing.

Anyway, it's too bad that 32 cents out of every health care dollar
spent in the US gioes too 'administrative costs' and profit extraction.

There are many countries that would call such a waste.. an unacceptable
waste.

And yet every other wealthy country in the world manage to live even longer
at half the cost. The US is getting piss-poor value for its health dollar.

$100 just to see the doctor,

$2000-70,000 if you need a surgery
