        So if I pay $10k per year for insurance and the insurance company spends $5k on fixing me then the total is $15k?

        If so then doesn’t this paint ls USA in a worse light than it deserves since universally funded countries would only count $5k in this graph.

      Further, is that number to include government healthcare funding, as well as out-of-pocket expense, in other words, money spent on behalf of the individual?

      I’d like some clarity as this chart on its face is pretty damning.
