The cost and quality of healthcare differ from country to country, but access to healthcare is essential for all of us. Affordable access to quality healthcare is a major determinant to quality of life. Studying healthcare metrics of different countries allows us to uncover the general healthcare facts that color the personal experiences of people who live in those countries. For example…
The average dollar amount spent on health care each day per person worldwide is $2.60 – about the cost of a cup of coffee.
By comparison, the USA spends $22.91 per person per day.
That’s more money on healthcare than any other country. But does that mean that the USA has better quality healthcare than everyone else?
