If the US spent more on healthcare, it would save billions in the further decades because the illness' rate would plummet down.


It needs to spend smarter, not more. It's already spending way more per capita then any other nation. It just doesn't have a lot to show for it in terms of key statistics like average age, child mortality, or indeed maternal deaths. Throwing more money at the problem will just ensure more money gets misspent.

Not to mention the billions generated by healthy workers...


How much should they spend?
