> As I already stated, the OECD definition of disposable income (https://stats.oecd.org/glossary/detail.asp?ID=46) explicitly accounts for "social transfers in kind", in both directions.

Again. This does not include private health insurance and out of pocket expenses as stated on the very site you posted: https://stats.oecd.org/glossary/detail.asp?ID=2498 (if you're now wondering what NPISHs are: https://stats.oecd.org/glossary/detail.asp?ID=1827 )

Private health insurance and out of pocket expenses are the two numbers I used to come up with the $5000 a person.

There's an old publication that more or less contains the same math, but it's from 2010 and healthcare costs have more than doubled since then: https://www.econstor.eu/bitstream/10419/203035/1/1040711413....

Go to Appendix B and have a look at the table if you're in a hurry.

I'll give you a chance to re-phrase the thoughts in the latter half of your post in a more polite manner, since I have been patient and am prepared to be so a while longer. I'm not looking forward to this conversation degrading in that way.
