Compare International Medical Bills
Countries with governments and economies similar to the United States have come up with a variety of methods to make sure that all of their citizens receive health care. While residents in Europe and Japan may pay higher insurance premiums or taxes than Americans, in the end, when all costs are added up, Americans spend more money on health care per person with fewer people covered. Pull-down charts HERE that are informative.

Very interesting. More reason for reform.
I checked out US/England but didn't go further. They do have their challenges as well, but somehow manage so much better than we do. I am convinced of medical bureacracy, duplication of testing( one dr won't accept the MRI of another even when it's the same area scanned), and duplication of one thing after another. One computer system that eery doctor in the system could access would help. It's a shame that nearly crippled people have to travel from one doctor to another to get x-rays and deliver them themselves.Stuff like that.
Thanks, P, I wondered how it worked there. Now I know!
I think that's what they're going for here, but the bills are hard to understand when I read them online. We definitely to make changes, and it's all really complicated. The insurance companies here are out of control. Some of them pay well and some don't.
