The big "wtf" for me was learning that the US has, by far, the highest public healthcare expenditure of any country in the world.

Looking at this data, it seems like it pays almost 50% more than the next highest country (over 9k per capita, vs just under 6k).

And some of the poorest health outcomes in the western world. How can you spend so much money, and still have people who can't afford basic care?
