United States Continues to Have Highest Level of Health Spending

The United States continues to spend the most on health care when compared to other Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries. Health care prices and higher per capita incomes are major factors for higher U.S. spending, according to a study by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and Princeton University.

The study authors suspect that the inverse relationship between cocaine use and education is related to access to health warnings and resources.
