The topic for the forum is: Developed countries spend between 8 and 17% of their Gross National Product on healthcare. This is a large proportion of our income, and there is a strong tendency for this percentage to increase over time. What connection, if any, is there between the amount of money spent on health, and well-being? • Can we afford to spend so much? • Is this large amount of money well spent? • Is there a relationship between the proportion spent and the quality of healthcare provided? • Is there a relationship between the proportion of GDP spent on health and the health of a nation?
