Twice the amount of money as France and they live longer. Can't someone figure this out and get it corrected. For those who travel and live elsewhere and has international health insurance are being told if you are in the US and have an emergency by all means seek health care. If it is a problem which can wait until you leave the US then go to another country for your health care. We have deep pocket hands taking out of the money for health care and they do not provide any health care. Insurance companies executives make much more than the doctors who spends lots of time training. The people who handle claims is much higher in number in the US than other countries and we suffer because we have to wait so long to get referrals. What are we thinking? Prescription drugs cost much more in the US for the same drug as it costs in other countries. We are our worst enemy.
