Marty, I think your chances of having babies won't matter wherever you go.

spend 3.2 times more money on health care

Does this take into account the taxes paid for healthcare? I mean, I know healthcare is ridicoulously expensive in the States both for private citizens and the state, but was just wondering.

[MadImmortalMan]

I don't know, but every country I pick says 90x% less on health care.

So I'm guessing it's not taking it into account.


But then again, Mono gets street stand prescription drugs for peanuts so maybe it's legit.

[Martinus]

Marty, I think your chances of having babies won't matter wherever you go. 

2x0=0

But in all seriousness, I do think gays in very homophobic societies are probably more likely to have kids.

According to this 2010 chart public+private expenditure in the US would be a "mere" 2,67 more than in Spain. Not 3,2 but in the ballpark. The US just has some frankly ridiculous health costs.

Note that we've cut public health expenditure since 2010 so the difference will possibly be higher now, dunno which data the app is using.

Incidentally, the Congo is freaking huge. It would stretch from Michigan to North Dakota to New Mexico to Louisiana.

Even the Big 12 could put together a good conference in that much territory.

If I click on "More Info" for U.S. vs. Austria it says:

"Per capita public and private health expenditures combined in The United States are $8,895.10 USD while Austria spends $5,407.50 USD
This entry contains the per capita public and private health expenditure at purchase power parity using US Dollars. This figure combines government, personal, and employer spending on health care"
