$11,126?? That may be what PAYING Americans pay, but Isn’t it about half that don’t pay anything for their healthcare?
Per capita this is doubtful. A family of 4 isn't paying $45,000 for healthcare coverage.
That is per capita. Sum up all health care expenditures, divide by population. $11,126 per person/year for the year surveyed.
All trans-national comparisons are subject to a lot of a caveats, and in some dimensions there is no possible meaningful comparison (rates of urban gun violence US vs. Japan or Switzerland, for example.) In the US, think of the cost of ballistic wound and injury care in Chicago, for example. There is no hyper violent minority population shooting each other in Canada. Or Switzerland, or Japan. The emergency care costs that are the result of urban gunfire are not trivial, but there is no comparable component to Canadian health care expenditures. So, by the time you get done footnoting these transnational comparisons, they are basically worthless.

Which is why the rest of us pay for our own families and the deadbeats who all expect equal care.
They’re conflating health care with health insurance.

They forgot to average that into the figures.
