What's this?

Excellent question. To reduce the money spent without people dying


preventable deaths? That's kinda the $3.2T question. If you look at other countries whose spending is lower per capita and health outcomes are better, you'll tend to see systems that are very different from our own.

And we spend $9900/person on HC.
