>…Per capita the US spends $14,885 per capita on healthcare each year and has a life expectancy of 79.6 years, Albania spends $414 per capita on healthcare each year and has a life expectancy of 80 years. Spike, you certainly haven't had time to study those 3 lists that I posted, but I'd really like it if you would and then tell me what solution you have that would get the US out of such an absurd situation. ….

OK.  Let’s send our medical students to Albania, and do it their way.

 

However, I rather suspect they don’t do much for sick people in Albania.  Perhaps their life expectancy numbers look good because they have fewer teenage gangsters 86ing each other and fewer fentanyl fatalities compared to the USA.
