  You believe so, but at least Wikipedia says the US are 22nd per capita (which is more relevant than the total spending) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_social_welfare_spending https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_social_...

    > Wikipedia says the US are 22nd per capita I see USA at 10 in per capita section in your wiki link.

      so either way the us is not at position number 1... at that point it doesn't matter.

        ok

      You are right, I have made a mistake there. The USA are 10th in spending per capita and 22nd in spending in percentage of the GDP.

  The amount of money spent doesn't mean anything. The US also pays insane amounts for their health system but the result is a system that's far more expensive than in other countries.
