There's a lot to bend...


In preparation for Friday's talk on Cost-Sharing, and in response to constant conversation re: "bending the cost curve," I thought this graphic was interesting, because it shows our US cost curve as compared to the 31 other OECD countries. Technically, it shows total health spending as a percentage of GDP - but still, the way the US curve stands out from the pack is striking.
