It spends more per capita with worse outcomes

That's the point, where is that extra spending going? What good is it doing? Why is any other question the topic of discussion?

You haven't shown its extra spending with just that one stat. Does $50 USD buy you the same things in the US as $50 USD in Venezuela?

That's exactly what I'm talking about, it doesn't. Why not?

Does Venezuela have a bunch of leeching middlemen at every possible point in their systems due to the massive push for privatization?
