Healthcare spending is at least as broken as education: The US health care system is 50-100% more expensive per capita as comparable European systems, yet less capable. There's lots of savings potential here.

I'm not saying i believe it but the counterargument i've heard to this is that the US also funds the most medical research.

I havent seen anyone clearly explain how more expensive bandaids trickle down into the pockets of researchers, but nevertheless it is a common counterargument to the US spending much more than other countries on healthcare
