In the United States, an MRI scan is $1009.00

In Britain it’s $187.00.

In the United States, bypass surgery costs over $59,000, in Britain just shy of $14,000.

Why do we pay so much, more than any other country in the world, and have relatively so little to show for it?

We outspend the rest of the world but in a country like France, which spends half as much as we do, the people live longer, they have lower infant mortality rates and they don’t have the obesity problems that we have.

~ Charlie Kolb, President of the Committee for Economic Development
