Oh wow, I didn’t know that. Google says $13.493 per person in 2022. And in Germany it’s a bit more than $7.000…

Also things like maternal mortality is WAY worse…

I mean the USA is way bigger and maybe things dont translate exactly from a somewhat densely populated central european country to the vast emptiness of rural Wyoming. I guess an hospital is also something that is subject to economy of scale… But even the northern european countries where doctors come in with helicopters all the time, don’t exceed toe ~$7.000
