US healthcare costs are completely out of control compared to other modern nations. We pay 2-3x the cost of other nations for our care per capita. Primarily I would attribute that to other nations applying a universal healthcare principle, and in some form or other placing government controls on the prices of medical procedures and drugs. We pay more, and our life expectancy is shorter.
