According to the World Health Organization, the per capita expenditure in 2005 for health in the United States was $6350 (World Health Organization, 2008). Canada’s expenditure was $3,419, France was $3,314, and the United Kingdom’s per capita expenditure was $2,597. Yet the U.S. still has a much higher mortality rate, even though the U.S. seems to spend nearly double on health care compared to other countries. If that wasn’t enough, the U.S. also has a high rate of medical errors and 17% of Americans aren’t even covered for their medical expenses.
