by on

OECD Health Data 2009 – Country Notes and press releases: “Specific country notes have been prepared using data from OECD Health Data 2009, June 09 version.”

  • OECD Health Data 2009 – How Does the United States Compare: “Total health spending accounted for 16.0% of GDP in the United States in 2007, by far the highest share in the OECD. Following the United States were France, Switzerland and Germany, which allocated
    respectively 11.0%, 10.8% and 10.4% of their GDP to health. The OECD average was 8.9% in 2007. The United States also ranks far ahead of other OECD countries in terms of total health spending per capita, with spending of 7,290 USD (adjusted for purchasing power parity), almost two-and-a-half times greater than the OECD average of 2,964 USD in 2007. Norway follows, with spending of 4,763 USD per capita, then Switzerland with spending of 4,417 USD per capita. Differences in health spending across countries may reflect differences in price, volume and quality of medical goods and services consumed.”
