The United States spends more on health care than any other nation in the world; no other country spends more than 12 percent of its total economy (GDP or Gross Domestic Product) on health care.

Address the following questions within your paper:

1. Are the health outcomes better or poorer than other countries?

2. What is the approximate percentage of U.S. health care cost represented by the U.S. GDP currently?

Additionally indicate if you believe the growth of U.S. health care cost is sustainable and justify your opinion as to why or why not.
