The US Is Number One In Spending On Pharmaceuticals

This graph shows per capita spending on drugs in several regions of the world.  With the exception of Japan,  which holds a strong second place position,  the US spends more than twice as much per capita than its other competitors in the spending race.  Prices for similar drugs are higher in the US, and we consume more of them.  We should remain number one for decades.  Its too bad that our spending on drugs does not make us any healthier.
