With all of the fiery rhetoric surrounding the healthcare debate, it was hard to tell who was telling the truth. One thing is for sure: Americans spend far too much on healthcare and get very little in return. Why does healthcare cost so much? This infographic from Medical Billing & Coding [via Co.design] takes a stab at explaining it. Apparently the problem isn’t obesity, malpractice lawsuits or an aging population; it’s seemingly more fixable things like administrative costs and medicine that costs 118 percent more here than it does in other countries. So why can’t we seem to figure out a way to fix it?
