Estima que os EUA gastam mais $650 mil milhões todos os anos em cuidados de saúde que os países industrializados da OCDE. Accounting for the cost of U.S. health care: A new look at why Americans spend more

In 2006, we found that the USA spent nearly $650 billion more on health than peer OECD countries, even after adjusting for wealth. Of this amount, outpatient care, which includes same-day hospital visits and is by far the largest and fastest-growing part of the US health system, accounts for $436 billion, or two-thirds of spending above what we would expect.
