In 2011, expenditures for health care totaled $8,500 per person in the U.S. The country next closest in spending, among 10 other major industrialized nations, was Norway, which spent $5,700 per person. New Zealand spent the least on health care, at $3,200 per person.https://www.citizen.org/wp-content/uploads/public_citizen_shared_link.jpg1200628
