USA: Healthcare prices

The healthcare price index is a broad-based measure of the cost of healthcare services in the USA relative to other countries. The world average is set at 100 but one can compare the healthcare cost to other countries too. The data are provided by the International Comparison Program of the World Bank which updates the numbers every four years. See the global rankings for that indicator or use the country comparator to compare trends over time.
