USA Today's 'Sicko' Debate

A DEBATE WORTH HAVING?
The United States spends twice as much or more on health care per capita than Canada, Britain, France and Cuba, countries with single-payer systems that USAToday criticizes as "beset by inefficiencies." The U.S. government spends about as much on health care as a share of GDP as the Canadian, British and Cuban governments do, and France's government spends only somewhat more--even as the U.S.'s private spending on health dwarfs that of any developed country.
(FAIR)
