WaPo Interactive International Cost Graphic
The Washington Post came out with an interactive chart showing how the same medical procedure is cheaper in American countries such as Canada, Chile and Argentina and in India as well as European countries France, Germany, Switzerland, and Spain are cheaper than the United States (highlighted in red). Kevin Drum at Mother Jones magazine highlighted Switzerland to compare to the US which he states has "the biggest free-market component to their healthcare system in the rich
world, and guess what? They come in second or third on all but one of
the procedures. You may draw your own conclusions."
You can go to the Washington post graphic here to see how the other countries compare to the US.
If you point the arrow over a dot it will show you the name of the country and it's respective cost for each procedure and can draw your own conclusions about how medical care is more expensive in the US than most anywhere else in the world.
