Its about the total cost per captita... all is included... even if it comes out of taxes.

As I said... ours is at the top of most expensive ones... but the US one is even way more expensive.

Worse, the the quality of the US Healthcare is mediocre compared to some other nations. This is why you now got obamacare.
