A very clear animation from Our World in Data where you can see how, since the nineties:

- the costs of US health care outpaces that of its peers

- but life expectancy in the US stays further and further behind that of its peers.

I wonder what the graph would look like when you offset life expectancy against profit per insured person. Most likely very similar.

The image is a scatter plot chart titled "Life expectancy vs. health expenditure, 2022." It shows the relationship between life expectancy and health expenditure per capita for various countries. The x-axis represents health expenditure per capita, ranging from $2,000 to $10,000, while the y-axis represents life expectancy, ranging from 66 years to 84 years. Each country is represented by a circle, with the size of the circle indicating the population size. The countries are color-coded by continent: Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania, and South America. Key observations from the chart include: - Japan, Switzerland, and Norway have high life expectancy (around 84 years) with relatively high health expenditure. - The United States has a high health expenditure per capita (around $10,000) but a lower life expectancy (around 78 years) compared to some other countries with lower expenditure. - China and India have lower health expenditure per capita and life expectancy compared to Western countries. - European countries like Italy, France, and Germany have high life expectancy with moderate health expenditure. - South Africa has the lowest life expectancy (around 66 years) with low health expenditure.

In other 'Merican health care adventures, I have learned that my prescriptions have fallen into what the insurance company calls "the donut hole," and I'll be responsible for 25% of my pharmacy co-pays in the future. Which dings me for over $1000 additional out-of-pocket between now and end-of-year. 'Merican "staying alive" payments and red-tape are AWESOME! Thanks, Republicans!

Peterson-KFF Health System TrackerThe state of the U.S. health system in 2022 and the outlook for 2023 - Peterson-KFF Health System TrackerThe COVID-19 pandemic has had a severe impact on mortality in the United States, leading to life expectancy decreasing in the U.S. by far more than in other large, wealthy countries.
