title: Health care expenditures and utilization abroad; implication for the U.S.
abstract: The United States has a greater per capita outlay for health care than any other nation. While expending a higher share of gross domestic product (GDP), it is not certain that health care outcomes are better than those of other industrialized countries. Further research is needed to elucidate this paradox.
