Chart Of The Day
Ezra Klein passes along some striking charts (pdf):
There is a simple explanation for why American health care costs so much more than health care in any other country: because we pay so much more for each unit of care. As Halvorson explained, and academics and consultancies have repeatedly confirmed, if you leave everything else

hospital, the number of surgeries we need -- but plug in the prices
Canadians pay, our health-care spending falls by about 50 percent.
