I'll attribute the difference between the United States and the rest of the developed world to our economic inequality, our heterogenous population, our derision toward social medicine and our national love affair with firearms.

Stuart found this to be notable:
Given the unusually high health care costs in the US, it's interesting that we have a rather low number of doctors for a developed country.
I also am surprised with that fact.  But maybe the scarcity (be it in limited medical school slots or maybe too few visas) is one of the causes of the high health care costs?
