I'm sorry that this chart is so small and hard to read but all of the countries mentioned here (to my knowledge) offer some form of universal, public health care ..... except 1.And, guess which country was ALSO the MOST EXPENSIVE?
Yes, it's us! On BOTH counts! The good old non-"socialist" USA! At over $6500/capita, in 2006!
(I'm told that the cost/capita is in excess of $7500/capita in 2009 .. but I don't have an objective chart of that ... yet.)
