In an article written by Jason Kane for PBS News Hour, he states that the United States spends $8,233 per person on health care annually. http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/health-costs-how-the-us-compares-with-other-countries/

“According to the CMS (Centers for Medicare/Medicaid Spending), the average American spent $9,596 on healthcare last year, up significantly from $7,700 in 2007. Healthcare spending per person is expected to surpass $10,000 in 2016 and then march steadily higher to $14,944 in 2023.” http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2015/03/15/the-average-american-spends-this-much-on-healthcar.aspx

Compare this with American incomes: the Federal Reserve Economic Data website states that in 2015, median personal income in America was observed at $30,240 and mean personal income was at $44,510.

A report was released by the National Academies Press called, “U.S. Health in International Perspective: Shorter Lives, Poorer Health.” http://sites.nationalacademies.org/DBASSE/CPOP/US_Health_in_International_Perspective/index.htm

In the report, statistics from the WHO prove that our death rate is higher: http://sites.nationalacademies.org/dbasse/cpop/dbasse_080393#deaths-from-all-causes

The New Yorker featured an article written by Dr. Allan S. Detsky, M.D., Ph.D. Potential causes of these statistics are discussed:

The British Medical Journal, Dr. Martin A. Makary, MD and Michael Daniel, research fellow, “Medical error—the third leading cause of death in the US”. Death rate by Medical Error in USA is 251,000 people per year by Dr. Makary’s research: http://www.bmj.com/content/353/bmj.i2139

Dr. Gary Null, PhD., “Death By Medicine”. Null’s research places the death rate at 797,926 people per year: Search Google for the book

Null says that in 1994, L.L. Leape (one of his sources) compared his figure of deaths by medical mistakes as equivalent to three jumbo jet crashes every two days, but today, Dr. Gary Null states that the figure is more equivalent to six jumbo jets falling out of the sky each day.
