Is this one example an accurate cross section of the Singapore health care system? Did you ever hear any horror stories about exorbitant bills or people not being covered? How much did the siren cost?
Anyway, the fact remains that
the U.S. spends almost 16 percent of its GDP on health care, while Singapore spends a mere 3.7 percent. It's not just impressive, it's downright amazing.
