What is the reasons for the cost differences?
A main reason for the cost differences between The United States and other countries is mainly the difference in healthcare systems and how everything works together. The US is driven by a fragmented and private healthcare sector, which means that income and jobs are important to be able to afford the healthcare. In other countries the healthcare is being paid through their taxation, this is countries like Denmark, Sweden and Norway. These countries also have progressive taxation, which means that your tax rate is based of your income. The healthcare is paid through this system so everyone can be able to get to the hospital without worrying if they can afford it or not.
