  > The US already spends more per-person than most states with socialized medical care. The US spends more than *twice as much* per capita on healthcare than *every other nation on Earth.* You don't have to water this down with "most".

  I think merelly "spends more per-person" is nowhere strong enough to really illustrate how bad things are. For example, the United States spends more than **TWICE** per-person in Healthcare than the United Kingdom. In fact judging by [this](https://www.healthsystemtracker.org/chart-collection/health-spending-u-s-compare-countries/) it spends almost twice as much as the European country which has a 69% higher GDP per-capita - Luxembourg. And even with such much higher spending levels, based on [this](https://www.healthsystemtracker.org/chart-collection/quality-u-s-healthcare-system-compare-countries/) healthcare outcomes are actually worse. Healthcare in the US is world-beating by a large marge in how spectacularly inneficient it is.
