Re:Medicare will require hospitals to post prices online by gregmac on Wednesday April 25, 2018 @03:09PM (#16924957)
Similar, sure, but US is ranked:

* 31st for Life Expectancy [1]

* 32nd in infant mortality [2]

* 5th for colorectal cancer survival [3]

* 1st for breast cancer survival [3]

* 19th for cervical cancer survival [3]

* 7th for heart attack mortality [3]

The actual numbers are reasonably close, but the cost is also about 25% more per captia [4] than the second highest-spending country.
