The reason is because the markets are not the same. And why are they not the same? Government(s).

They made other tradeoffs and inverted the graph. For example cellphones are way more expensive on some countries, cars are taxed up to 100% on others.

I'd like to see evidence that cars and cell phones in these countries are similar or more expensive than the savings from healthcare. I have a sneaking suspicion that the savings from healthcare dwarfs the price increase in consumer goods.
