Price of healthcare in the world.

Bottom-line? We pay the most for the same stuff. That's not the worst part. This is: We also increasingly burden US citizens with debt related to insane costs (see colors below for Exact same procedures). 

One of many, many examples: Humira costs $2,246 in the US. In Switzerland, a, mildly put, expensive place, it costs $881.

Oh, and it is not even that our (sorry, sarcastic) healthcare is causing us to live longer or anything. We are #53 on the list: http://goo.gl/8NJgn9

Yes, our recent healthcare reform will put a band-aid on a bleeding patient. For the sake of our children, we need to do better.
