The bar graph displays the health spending of three nations from 1990 to 2010.
Overall, spending for healthcare for all three countries generally rose over the given two decades, with Japan spending the most throughout.
During the given period, Japan consistently spent the most on healthcare, with expenditures generally increasing every five years. In 1990, healthcare spending was $8 billion, and by 2000, spending had risen to $13 billion. Though there was a slight dip to just $12 billion in 2005, Japan’s expenditure in 2010 ended at $14 billion, nearly 50% higher than the other two countries surveyed.
Italy generally had the second highest spending on health, though not as high as Japan. At the start of the period, Italy’s spending was around $3.5 billion, barely half that of Japan, but this more than doubled to $8 billion five years later. After dropping to $6 billion in 2000, Italy’s healthcare spending grew until it hit $10 billion in 2010.
France had a very different approach to health expenditure. For 15 years, France’s spending was generally fixed at just $2 billion, except in 1995 when it disbursed around $3.5 billion for health. Surprisingly, in 2010, France’s healthcare spending skyrocketed to $10 billion, five times its expenditure in 2005.
