Here's a crazy stat: the US of A spends almost exactly twice as much, per capita, on healthcare as Sweden.
Here's a crazier stat: our per capita spending on the military is thirty times as high.
So, while we should definitely figure out how the Swede's are staying healthy for 2000 a person instead of 4000, it seems far more pressing for us to figure out how they're staying defended for 160 bucks a head instead of 4700. An order of magnitude more pressing, even.
