The chart and table detail the differences in the proportion of hospital beds and health expenditure along with the average life expectancy among some countries.
Overall, a country's spending on health is inversely proportional with its beds available for the citizens and their life expectancy.
A closer look at the graph reveals that 75% of the countries mentioned could provide only 4 hospital beds for each thousand people. However, that number is doubled in Germany, and in Japan, it reaches the highest point of 14 hospital beds per thousand of the population.
The table shows that the US spends the highest amount of money on healthcare ($6719 per person), but its population has a life expectancy of only 78. In contrast, although the Japanese have the least expenditure on this area, they can live up to the average 83 years, 3 years longer than citizens of the Netherlands who are spent $900 more on.
