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.
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.

How?
How could Brexit have gone better? Open borders, customs union, staying in the single market.
You mean the Norway-plus model. Leave the table were the decisions are made, bud you do have to follow them. How is that better? Maybe less bad than what you got now, but definitely not better than staying.
Yes. I never claimed it was better than staying, I said right there “brexit was a bad idea but” - it was always going to be worse than staying but it didn’t need to be the unmitigated disaster that it was - that was the government’s fault.
See multiwinner voting / proportional representation, it’s not known to me to be an undemocratic process

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?
Add Australia to that warning.
Only Denmark has a Beveridge funding model. Most of the places at the top of the chart have a social insurance model (Bismarck).
Ultimately whatever the model, the UK has really low capital investment which is starting to show severely now.
I was wondering where the US was. Then I scrolled to the right.
Really stands out doesn’t it
Life expectancy as a function of spending is parabolic confirmed? New theory: if you spend more than $22,000 on healthcare per capita, life expectancy will be negative
Hospitals just explicitly kill you and they take all your belongings as payment.
Actually can happen if you’re dark skinned in America. Lots of sketchy cases that happen to struggling folks of dark skin
oh holy shit
Took me forever to find them. Was about to complain in the comments lol
Looking like the Japanese have it dialed in, eh?
Not to lump it in South Korea, but Koreans stay active and going out for many more years than other countries.
While the healthcare is good, I’m sure the “not staying at home” is better.
And yet this, too, is driven by terrible political decisions that practically force Americans to drive even the shortest distances. As a European, your cities and towns are extremely aggressive towards pedestrians and cyclists.
And fat shaming is also a normal thing.
What’re they doing in Costa Rica?
Bunch of rich retired people move there.
Im not sure, but the evidence is worth investigating. Guess Im going to Costa Rica.
As a South African… damn…
Yeah man… Wtf
🇺🇸 #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.
Not Switzerland’s choice, baby.
where is cuba on the chart
And where’s Taiwan?
I feel like if this was on Reddit there would be people commenting “Based USA”.
A life expectancy almost as high as China and we only had to spend 13 times the amount of money.
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?
Where is this chart from?
The URL is climatejustice.social, so maybe them
Well I found it on Mastodon.
Sorry for being an absolute tool when it comes to reading these things, but I want to make sure I understand it right. Per capita means per 100k people? So in the case of the US it’s $12k in expenses total, for those 100k people?
Per capita is latin for per head; per person. The UK spent $12k per person.
American Exceptionalism
Would the graph look slight more narrow if we accounted for median or average country income? Me spending 12k dollars a year in the us is very different than in Mexico, depending on where I get me income from.
But privatization makes everything cheaper and more efficient
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.
