And I'm taking it easy on you by not noting how Japan has more MRI machines per capita than the U.S. does, for example. Sometimes you can't learn much of import by looking at an isolated example in only one other country.

Just to be clear, Japan has not-quite- double the number of MRI machines per capita that the US does.

Also slightly ahead of the US are Greece and South Korea. Barely behind the US are Germany, Italy, and Finland.

Only one of those countries has the kind of convoluted, upside down, so-called private health care market (ha! Auto type changed that to “racket”) that we do.
