"How can Japan, with their government run health care system, have the highest life expectancy in the world, and one of the lowest infant mortality rates? Their total health spending accounted for just 7.9% of GDP, compared to 15% in the US (the highest in the world, followed by Switzerland at 11.5%). That means Japan spends 1/2 as much on health care as the US, but gets better results. Health spending per capita rose on average by 3% in real terms in Japan over the past five years, less than the U.S. rate of 4.6%. The numbers of physicians and nurses in the industry are comparable, belying the axiom that doctors will not doctor under a public system.
Japan has the highest number of “acute care” hospital beds, with 8.5 beds per 1 000 population. Compare that to the US with 2.8 beds per 1 000 population. In 2002, Japan had by far the highest number of CT and MRI scanners per capita, with 93 CT scanners per million population and 35 MRI units.
Japan has the lowest obesity rate at 3%. The US has the highest at 31%."
HOW CAN YOU SAY THIS ....JAPAN ALSO HAS A 4.1% unemployment...THEY ARE A DIFFERENT GOVERNMENT TYPE!!!get this through your head...
