Research has shown that humans naturally process information with visual input. It’s why it is easier for us to read instructions with photos and graphics than in text blocks.

According to the National Library of Medicine (NLM), articles with a visual abstract are three times more likely to draw views.

Many of the Cool Guides on this list contain data and scientific information. As NLM points out, you can deliver them to a broad audience by creating visuals catering to non-specialists.

This means avoiding too much technical jargon. But if you must include such details, make sure to provide context.

Getting to that sweet spot of images, charts, and texts is key to an infographic’s aesthetic appeal. There must be a balance between data visualizations, words, and pictures.

Experts advise limiting small texts to titles that stand out. Annotations should be concise, and bullet points should be used to enumerate items.

That heading: "Our Current System" ... it's not mine. Easy to guess it's USA, in which case it should say that.

The image was made for the US. Therefore the viewer being American is assumed. None of the images in this list were created specifically for BP.

It makes a huge difference when you are only playing for health care, and not having to provide profits for health care companies. Imagine what would happen is all of the people involved in 'health care' in the USA actually were providing patient care, rather than financial care of businesses. Think of all the people working in insurance, billings, debt collection, etc. Now imagine them retrained as nurses, radiographers, pharmacists, physios, surgeons, doctors, dentists...

Be realistic, both parties have created this mess. I think it's because of some important lines that are left out: like the line that goes from the insurance companies to Congress' pockets.

That math isn't mathing. 118.3M workers x $1500 a year for the 4% premium ( I rounded up) comes to $178 Billion. 2024 Medicare and Medicaid budget is $1.4 Trillion.

All ya gotta do in the USA is say a 2% tax hike and they go batshit crazy! "I"M NOT PAYING THAT FOR SOME RANDO TO HAVE HEALTHCARE!!!" Yet they'll pay 12 K a year PLUS (!) deductables in the thousands because of course they'd rather pay out the wazoo than pay a little more in tax just to make the libs cry!

Incredibly oversimplified and not real cause and effect. For instance Single payer does not take into account negotiating a consistent, fair price for all. In the direct payer scenario, the person who makes $80,000 a year could be charged for an office visit $300 or more because 'they can afford it's mentality and business practices. The other method provides a 'contractual' synopsis that equalizes cost. So the patient who is only making $10,000 is given the exact same treatment without prejudice.

Another oft-overlooked part is this: it's cheaper for everyone. Regular people don't need to pay exorbitant bills. Businesses don't need to, either, and money they might've spent paying healthcare bills can pay other things. And, counterintuitively, it's cheaper for the government, too! Take Sweden, an elderly country, as a comparison. In 2022, it spent 113 billion krone on healthcare.[1] Given Sweden's population of about 11 million, that works out to 10,300 krone, or a little over $1,000 per person[2]. The US government currently pays a little over $5,000 per person (of course, it pays $0 for many people, this is an average).[3] The only people who don't like it are Big Pharma and insurance. That's it. For EVERYONE ELSE, it delivers affordable, high-quality healthcare, at reduced cost to businesses, taxpayers, AND the government. It's a perfect deal. Win-win-win. But we won't do it. ***SOURCES AND REPLICATION INFORMATION*** Data sources are as follows: [1] sweden.se/life/society/healthcare-in-sweden, [2] measuringworth.com/datasets/exchangeglobal/, enter '2022' as start and end year and pick Sweden as the country [3] cms.gov/data-research/statistics-trends-and-reports/national-health-expenditure-data/nhe-fact-sheet. Conveniently, all data is for 2022. I recommend having a calculator to crunch the numbers for you. The US population figure for 2022 is derived from Google's infobox, which ends in 2022. Note that the Census agrees it was about 333 million people: census.gov/newsroom/press-kits/2022/2022-national-state-population-estimates.html. The Swedish population was from Google, confirmed by checking scb.se/en/finding-statistics/statistics-by-subject-area/population/population-composition/population-statistics/pong/tables-and-graphs/population-statistics---summary/population-and-population-changes/. Population figures rounded. The way I got the numbers was by taking Sweden's number in krone and dividing it by the population of Sweden, then converting that per-capita number to US dollars. For the US, I took the Medicare and Medicaid figures, added them, and divided them by the US population. Be careful not to misplace zeroes when replicating, and thank you for trying to replicate and do a vital and often undone duty of fact-checking :).

In the US, it really depends what kind of job you have. I have a unionized job with a good contract and pay about $200 for my health insurance per month, and it's the top tier plan. The employer pays the rest. In Germany, I would pay about $1100 a month. Even with co-pays, I'm better off with my US health plan, and the medical care is excellent. The problem is that not everyone has a good health care plan, and that dependents add a lot of cost to the monthly pay.

The current system (in US) should also include that businesses also spend a lot of money on administering and negotiating their health plans.

The VA system is a mess because Congress is constantly trying to underfund the entire Veterans Affairs department. Lots of money for current military funding, but nothing for those no longer serving.

Here in Canada, I had an issue with my ankle. Had an x-ray that day. A CTscan four days later. No issues with access. Access is an issue in the US because not everyone can afford the same level of care.
