Healthcare costs: NHS vs US.

14 Aug, 09 | by Iain Brassington

At risk of flogging a dead horse, there’s still quite a lot being said about the NHS as a comparator for American healthcare.  With that in mind, there’s an interesting little piece on Liberal Conspiracy at the moment comparing the UK and US systems in terms of cost per head.

Do these numbers, and what’s done with them, look plausible?  They do to me, but then I’m statistically hopeless.  Thoughts?

Coming up soon: a post on a different theme.  A serious, philosophical one.  By the end of today, too, if I get my arse into gear.  No, really.
