    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.

      Expenditure on health gives a measure of the final consumption of health goods and services (i.e. current health expenditure). This includes spending by all types of financing arrangements (such as government-based programmes, social insurance and out-of-pocket spending) on medical services and goods, population health and prevention programmes, as well as administration of the health system.

    Is this data old? India's life expectancy is now 70+ according to World Bank. Eithercase, I am impressed by China. They had a life expectancy of ~36 years in 1949 when PRC was established. They lagged behind both India and Pakistan for quite some time(cough Mao cough) but then took such a steep climb upwards.

    This is not a fair comparison. The American medical system has to keep Americans alive while the Spanish medical system merely has to keep Spaniards alive. It is a medical miracle that Americans get to live above the age of 70 on average with their lifestyles.
