The data is entirely verifiable; it's correct.

In our country it's not. Medical costs are out of control, I'm not sure why everyone here wants to blame the insurance companies for how expensive it is to receive medical treatment.
All your little table is showing is that we pay more for healthcare(key word there, treatment) than most countries. Our life expectancy is only four years different than Japan...so what?
Healthcare is 15 percent of our GDP. Not insurance but TREATMENT. why is it again that insurance companies are such big bad evil monsters and not DR.'S and HOSPITALS?
