Whatever gripes we may have about publicly funded health care, privatization sure as hell isn’t the answer.

A graph from Our World in Data plotting life expectancy versus health expenditure shows that citizens in most of a basket of countries with public health care enjoy average life expectancies of between 80 and 88 years and expend between $2,000 and $6,000 per capita on health care. The outlier is the USA in which, despite a per capita expenditure of more than $10,000, life expectancy is slightly above 78 and, in recent yesrs, has dropped.
