U.S Population: 328.2 Million People France Population: 67.06 Million People The America bashing on this site really does get tiresome, especially with comment

  I'm using data from the World Bank which shows that Americans are far more prone to developing diabetes than most other countries. https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SH.STA.DIAB.ZS https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SH.STA.DIAB.ZS France was just an example, but even your link proves my main point. It's not just diabetes. Heart disease is 2x as common in the US as in many other developed countries as well. I don't see how this is "america bashing" (of which I myself have been critical of in the past on this website). What I've presented is useful data that contributes to the discussion over healthcare costs.

  >Especially when America and France have the same percentage of diabetic people Your link doesn't show that comparability. France is the highest rate in EU at 10% for ages 15+, EU average is 6.9. US average for ages 18+ is 13% [1] West Virginia has the highest adult rate of US states with 15.7% [2] https://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/data/statistics-report/diagnosed-undiagnosed-diabetes.html https://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/data/statistics-report/diagnose... https://www.americashealthrankings.org/explore/annual/measure/Diabetes/state/ALL https://www.americashealthrankings.org/explore/annual/measur...
