Take this as a warning, UK.
Your NHS will get even fucking worse and cost three and a half times as much, and somehow a large portion of you stupid fucks are clamoring for US style private insurance rather than making the fucking Tories do their job.
Unfortunately, in case you’re unfamiliar with UK politics, making life as miserable as possible is the whole government’s thing at the moment and the majority don’t support them. Please do not call us stupid fucks though, we are their victims, perhaps figure out how to send help, get us invaded, anything to get rid of them.
Remember, remember, the fifth of November. And kick a Tory in the cock on the that day. Good start.
Do we have to only do it one day a year?
Unfortunately, the majority of us are fucking stupid. We voted for Brexit…
The other possibility is that the younger voters are even more stupid by not voting.
Either way, politically stupid or stupid lazy.
I knew it was bad in the US. I did not know it is THAT bad.
Lots of profits to protect. The lobbying must be intense. Total shitshow.
The lobbying must be intense.
The Sackler family, the shitbags most directly responsible for the opioid epidemic in the US, were handed a sweetheart settlement deal where they had to hand over a small percentage of their multi-billion dollar fortunes and in return they were SHIELDED FROM PROSECUTION on any related charges or civil suits.
Luckily even our shitbag Supreme Court could see what utter scumfuck horseshit that was and tossed the deal out the window and into a garbage bin where it belonged.
Who offered the settlement? Who rejected it?
🇺🇸 #1!one!! Suck it, Cuba, with your nearly free healthcare and higher life expectancy!
Note that pretty much every other country than US in this list, the USD amount is how much the country pays per person in healthcare. Universal healthcare, baby.
So in Finland my healthcare has cost me roughly $10/year.
where is cuba on the chart
And where’s Taiwan?
To separate the effect of demographic differences from the expenditure, might help to divide by an age-weighted population, rather than simply per capita. Also, is this expenditure converted to US$ in MER or PPP (for services the latter makes more sense)?
Take this with a grain of salt. For example sweden spends much more on healthcare than spain but they achieve the same in life expectancy because swedish doctors get payed more and sweden is in the north where there are other problems to deal with(mental health) and people generally live shorter lives. The us is fucked up no matter how you look at it.
Thailand on NHSO: Whatever, just take this paracetamol and shut up. NEXT.
Thailand on Social Security: $25 per month per person forever. Oh, it doesn’t cover mental health or Risperidone or whatever. NEXT.
Thailand on Govt Officer (NOT Govt Employee) Healthcare: How may I be of assistance today milord?
Is this data old? India’s life expectancy is now 70+ according to World Bank. Eithercase, I am impressed by China. They had a life expectancy of ~36 years in 1949 when PRC was established. They lagged behind both India and Pakistan for quite some time(cough Mao cough) but then took such a steep climb upwards.
or a great leap forward so to speak 😉
China has gotten better as long as you’re not a Uyghur.
Wild Chaddi spotted !!
I am sorry, but is pointing out data inconsistencies makes you a BJP supporter automatically? Also, the pejorative you used is used for nationalistic Indian supporters who usually, tend NOT to say anything positive about China. I don’t fit your criterion.
A life expectancy almost as high as China and we only had to spend 13 times the amount of money.
Cuba’s life expectancy is too high and their expenditure too low to fit on the graph, very funny shit
Also USA is way higher than 12k a year, what was this from, 20 years ago? Last I saw was like 28k
How was this measured? Is it overall expenditure (including insurance, taxes, etc.) or out-of-pocket expenses?
Expenditure on health gives a measure of the final consumption of health goods and services (i.e. current health expenditure). This includes spending by all types of financing arrangements (such as government-based programmes, social insurance and out-of-pocket spending) on medical services and goods, population health and prevention programmes, as well as administration of the health system.
Thanks! I always appreciate additional context with charts.
Where is this chart from?
The URL is climatejustice.social, so maybe them
Well I found it on Mastodon.
