In this prior post, among comparable countries, the USA was found to be an outlier in two things:
government healthcare spending (highest)
life expectancy (lowest)
To test the hypothesis that “their spending is killing us” an exponential regression of spending and crude death rate was made for the years from 2009 to 2020, where 57% of the variation in the yearly death rate was explained by government spending on health:
Having the government in control of the allocation of resources with regard to healthcare is a dangerous mistake. Since 2009, increases in spending coincide with increases in the crude death rate.
Efforts should be made in order to attempt to drive the U.S. government all of the way out of healthcare.
