Try this search:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=GNP+spent+on+healthcare+by+country&btnG=Google+Search
and you'll find some cites that do indicate that we spend a lot of our GNP on
healhcare, for instance this one
http://www.chiff.com/a/HLFH703cost.htm
or this one
http://members.shaw.ca/tfrisen/which_is_the_better_health_care_.htm
and these sorts of studies seem to be the sort trotted out when the inefficiency
charge is laid... (1)
but you'll also find this cite:
http://www.mackinac.org/5880
which, however, I expect not a lot of the readership here (especially Scott!) is
going to take seriously, see their about page:
http://www.mackinac.org/article.asp?ID=1663
Neb, you have a tough row to hoe here, I wish you all the best, but don't expect
too much.
1 - personally I think we DO have an ineffecient system, at least from a
structural point of view, it's the worst of both systems mishmashed together.
