I don't know where you're getting your numbers but according to OECD, the per capita spending in the US is 13k. That's public and private spending. I don't think your 12k per capita number is just public spending.

Dude, I literally posted a link to the numbers. 12k public. 2.5k private, 14.8k total per person public plus private.

Here is another link to the OECD numbers directly. Is is 12k public, 14.8k Public plus private.

Can we agree on the 12k and move on now?
