As Robert Kuttner notes: "By rheir nature, universal systems spend less money on wasteful overhead, and more on primary prevention. Health insurance overhead in the United States alone consumes about 1 percent of rhe GDR compared to 0.1 percent in Canada. ... Remarkably enough, the United States spends the most money on health care, but has the fewest hospital beds per thousand in population, the lowest admission rate, and rhe lowest occupancy rate - coupled with the highest daily cost, highest technology-intensiveness, and greatest number of employees per bed."
