The U.S. spent $5,267 per capita on health care in 2002—53% more than any other country (Commonwealth Fund). Premiums for employer-sponsored health insurance in the United States have been rising five times faster on average than workers' earnings since 2000 (Kaiser Family Foundation and the Health Research and Educational Trust).
