It is embarrassing, and sad, that the richest country in the world chooses not to provide health insurance for its citizens. This is true even though the U.S. spends two to three times as much on health care per capita as most industrialized countries. In 2015, the U.S. spent $9451 per person, Norway $6567, Germany $5267, Canada $4608, Japan $4150, the UK $4003, and Spain $3153.
