Uncle Sam Drops 2K/citizen on Health Costs

Without anything close to universal health care our government still spends over $2000 per citizen according to Matthew Yglesias writing at The American Prospect in this 2003 article. Note how only Norway and Iceland spend more. The Brits come in at $500 less per person! Businesses operating here in the U.S. of course have that cost burden as well. And just think how much the average American still has to dip into their pocket. A crying shame! Peace ... or War!
