OECD bar charts, and graphs

Average annual health expenditures per person in US dollars (PPP). For OECD countries, and some other countries.^[4]^[1]

"Government/compulsory": government health schemes or compulsory insurance (public or private).
"Voluntary/Out of pocket": private voluntary health insurance or direct payments by households.

The chart below is older (2020 data) and breaks down the voluntary spending further by separating out-of-pocket payments. In this chart the items are stacked by color. There are a few other countries than just OECD countries.^[1]

Timeline of a few OECD countries:

Graph below is life expectancy versus healthcare spending of rich OECD countries. US average of $10,447 in 2018.^[5] See: list of countries by life expectancy.
