How do health care & costs in the US compare with other developed nations?

Kinda looks like there might be room for improvement, wouldn't you say?
Note the graph goes 1970-2018.

No surprise.

We have huge overhead due to a wide array of insurers, and (years ago) Republicans made it so Medicare couldn't bargain for better prices (which is a *distortion* of the MARKET!), etc.

We pay a lot more and get less, ultimately.
