Cost of Healthcare - Which country stands out?

According to a recent article published in the New York Times the United States spends about $2.7 Trillion in health-care. Thats close to about $7000 per person per year and far more then any industrialized country. But according to the article, this higher spending does not always translate into better health-care or better outcomes for patients.

The article explores how the various special interest groups including physicians, medical device manufacturers and the media driven by profit motives have been complicit in the rising cost of health-care in the US.
