    jayparkinsonmd: Graphing The Cost of Health Care: In all of the regressions, the slope of the line is 1.9 years per $1000 of spending, and the Y-intercept implies that we’d live to 73.5 without spending a dime. At the level of spending of the US, the relationships predict a life expectancy of 87.5 years. The US still shows a dramatic divergence from the other countries, spending more than twice as much for a slightly below average life expectancy. Turns out regularly seeing your doctor is a good thing. Who knew.
