【開頭段】
The table compares Japan, Italy, France, Germany and USA with regard to the distribution of GDP to healthcare for the year 2009.
【概述段】
In general, USA had the largest expenditure on healthcare among all the 5 countries, and it was the only country where the private spending occupied a larger share of GDP than the public spending.
思路要點(diǎn):
- USA占比
- 只有在USA,private spending> public spending
【Body 1】
Looking at the information in more detail, we can see that USA allocated 40% of its GDP on healthcare, half of which was for private spending, slightly higher than the figure for public spending in this country(15%). The proportion of the total cost of healthcare in Germany ranked the second place(35%), closely followed by that in Germany(30%). The figures for private and public spending in these two countries showed a similar pattern, ranging from 12% to 18%.
By contrast, a smaller percentage of GDP was used for healthcare in Japan and Italy, with the figures of 20% and 25% respectively. To be more specific, Japan allocated 10% of its GDP on public spending, twice the figure for its private spending. In Italy, private and public spending shared a similar figure, with roughly 10%.
