I'm viewing health care expenditure by country on the OECD website:
https://data.oecd.org/healthres/health-spending.htm
And for sure US expenditure is about 40% above the next country. But, it also says that most of this is government spending. When you compare out-of-pocket and voluntary expenditure, it's comparable to other countries. So how is this possible when the US doesn't have universal health care? And if these non-govt expenses are comparable to other countries as the OECD data seems to show, why do we hear about so many health-care horror stories coming out of the US, and how can this align with data Bernie Sanders uses where the average family pays $28k on insurance a year? Wouldn't this expensive insurance drive up the "voluntary expenditure" category?
