More Data

More Data
Highest health spending…the United States with 13% of GDP
Lowest health spending…Taiwan, with 0.4% of GDP

Most hospital beds. (Beds per 1,000 of population)
Taiwan is in 43rd place, along with Slovenia at 5.3 beds. The U.S. didn’t make it into this category at all. Albania and the United Kingdom were in 54th place, with 3.9 beds. So I’m guessing that the money spent on health care keeps us out of the hospitals?

    Interesting to hear the highest health spending is the United States and lowest is Taiwan. I think U.S. really needs to work on adapting to a national health care system.
