The amount of money spent on health care in the world varies dramatically from one country to the next. The United States has the highest level of health care expenditures. That being said, is more spending on health care associated with better health? Are we healthier as a nation because of the amount we spend on health care?

Compare and contrast the United States health status and health care expenditures with those of another country. Conclude with your thoughts on the economics of health care reform and whether or not it will truly reduce health care costs and make us a healthier nation.
