Wonder if it was adjusted for the exchange rate... Statics say whatever you want them to say (one of my degrees is in economics).
Nevermind the fact that Swiss or NZ populatations are 10 times smaller than US. That has nothing to do per capita level of medical service and spending. /sarcasm off.
How about comparing or medical services with USSR/Russia medical service? Similar population sizes, closer in size than Germany and US.... But libs will pick and chose what they want to compare. Sure you can get a free emergency surgery, but you have to wait a YEAR for it.
