“The Organisation for European Economic Cooperation and Development, in its most recent 2009 report on healthcare spending, pegs Denmark’s total healthcare expenditures at 9.8% of its gross domestic product with spending on a per capita basis equivalent to $3,512 per year, compared with U.S. expenditures at 16% of GDP and $7,290 per capita per year.
Of course, Denmark’s numbers are for a country of 5.5 million people with a universal healthcare system that is largely—but not entirely—paid for by government-raised taxes, or socialized medicine.”
