Decoding Medical Bills

I have an interest in the Business of Healthcare and in particular how different countries fund healthcare for their citizens.

Jen sent me the following infographic which, I think, gives a very interesting insight into healthcare costs in the USA.

The US spends more per capita on health care than any other country in the world. Americans can’t afford health care. While politicians are trying to find an answer to this crisis, people are struggling to find a way to pay for their medical bills. The average American family spends $19,393 annually for health care coverage. 60% of personal bankruptcies are linked to medical bills.
