Tim Foley has a great article at Change.org comparing Japanese and American health care.
We hear a lot about how Americans’ health care appetite for the latest technology and drugs makes us hard to compare to other nations, so let’s look at a country that has the highest number of CT scans per capita and more MRIs per capita than we do, not to mention a higher percentage of their health care dollars spent on drugs. Yet for all of this, they’ve created a universal health care system that provides health outcomes that are the envy of the world – the highest life expectancy for about a third of what the U.S. spends.
