The above charts show that the U.S. is not necessarily healthier than these other seven developed countries. We have the highest infant and adult mortality rates of these nations. Meanwhile, we substantially outspend them on health care (as the prior posts show). To me this points to large inefficiencies and waste in the U.S. health care system. More tomorrow.
