COMMENTARY

Ian Graham Staff Editor 16th May 2005	To Ganesh .R, I believe that what this graph shows is the amount of money that the listed countries' governments spend per capita on health services and facilities for their citizens.
Tapio 17th May 2005	I really don't believe that the US government spends the most money per person on health services. I would like to know how it's calculated.
Tom Spahr 16th November 2007	I believe alo is correct; I think that the number presented is aggregate of all sources, so both private and government spending is included. With respect to Ganesh.R, I would not necessarily assume that India spends less than $4/year (remember that the footnotes show this as 1998 as the base year). It seems that India is not included, likely because figures were not available.
