It's being underfunded by at least 10-15%, which is a lot for a system expected to run as cost effectively as possible. I'm getting that number from the average of $5336 vs ON at $4800. 4800/5336 = ~89%
I don't think we should aspire to US levels of GDP share. That seems quite excessive.
I think the solutions to our issues are structural changes and adequate funding.
