care cost based on % of GDP, credit to Learn Liberty
USA
has the most expensive health care service among industry countries.
In term of GDP that the
country spent
more than 15% for health care (please see above graph). This number
is 30% higher than Switzerland, Japan, Germany and Sweden. Three
times higher than Mexico, Latvia and Turkey.

In
respect to cost per capita,
one person is expected to spend US$ 9,024 for healthcare in the USA
in 2016 (please see the
second
graph at above). Cost increasing is
more
than 10 thousand dollar recently. Much more higher than average of
OECD countries.
The
question is: why health cost is expensive and tend to increase year
by year in the USA? The important factors cause the higher health
cost are following:
1.
Fewer Physicians
-
number of physicians per 1000 (thousand) is 3.9. It is considered low
compared
to average of 7.6 in OECD countries.
2.
Lower hospital bed numbers
-
Bed number is 2.83 per 1000 (one thousand) people in the USA compared
to other developed nations such as Germany (8.48), Belgium (6.18) and
France (6.13). Lower supply means higher cost.
3.Higher
drug costs
-Prescription
drug spending is much more higher in the USA than European countries.
It is because drug price is expensive in the America than other
countries.
What
do you think?
The decrease in physicians...can't get my head around that one (not doubting it; just don't understand).
ReplyDeletePrescription drug prices? Yeah, that's criminal.
I used to order prescription drug from outside US …

DeleteThe rising cost of healthcare, and especially for life-saving drugs, is out of control. Why? Greed? The running of hospitals and clinics by profit-making groups, where making a profit is more important than doing what's best for the patient. My husband and I are very fortunate to be on Medicare. Old age isn't entirely bad.

Hi
ReplyDeleteIn Portugal the health debt is so big that we are crushed with taxes, but because there is much corruption and parallel business and unfortunately our politicians are puppets at the hands of lobbyists.

I have encountered where you can't get a certain doctor because they are at their limit of patients, I had never heard of that before. It is so sad the prices that we have to pay, especially for life or death pills. Hoping they can figure out something
ReplyDeletehope, it will change soon...

I think it's fine as long as everyone get a good care from the hospital or doctor. However, it'll be bad if some people couldn't get a good care when they get sick.
ReplyDeleteAlthough, why is the cost of drug being expensive? It makes people who are sick get a difficulty of paying the drug, I think.
Actually, I have a pro and contra thinking in this way.
People who understand about the expensive health care cost will be more care with themselves, so they are more healthy.
