According to that chart, the US is at about 2.5 per 1,000, not appreciably better than China’s 1.8. If we were at 3.5, that’d be different. Oh, and we’re losing docs due to Obamacare.
We’re definitely better off than the average Chinese citizen, to be sure, but a lot of that is because we smoke a lot less, have less pollution (both factors affecting the lungs, which are the chief target of this disease), have better nutrition and have more education than the Chinese, on average. However, if our system gets overwhelmed with this thing, we won’t be much better off.
