Expenditure on health gives a measure of the final consumption of health goods and services (i.e. current health expenditure). This includes spending by all types of financing arrangements (such as government-based programmes, social insurance and out-of-pocket spending) on medical services and goods, population health and prevention programmes, as well as administration of the health system.

So if I pay $10k per year for insurance and the insurance company spends $5k on fixing me then the total is $15k?
If so then doesn’t this paint ls USA in a worse light than it deserves since universally funded countries would only count $5k in this graph.
